In Greek and Roman mythology, Canens was the personification of song. She was a nymph from Latium.
Her husband, King Picus, was turned into a woodpecker by Circe because he scorned her love. Canens searched for her husband for six days, then threw herself into the Tiber river. She sang one final song and then died. They had one son, Faunus.
Canens is also the name of a commune in the Haute-Garonne département, in France.
