Hippe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, Hippe (Ancient Greek: Ancient Greek: Ἵππη, lit.'mare' or 'horse'; pronounced /ˈhɪpi/, Hip-pay), also known as Melanippe[1] or Euippe, was the daughter of the Centaur Chiron and Chariclo.[2] She was seduced by Aeolus and bore a daughter, Melanippe or Arne, but was ashamed to tell her father. Artemis took pity on her and, according to one account, turned her into the constellation Pegasus originally called the Horse.[3]
