Menodice

In Greek mythology, Menodice or Menodike (Ancient Greek: Μηνοδίκη, romanized: Mēnodíkē) was the nymph daughter of Orion^[1], thus the (half)sister to Menippe and Metioche.^[2] She was the mother of Hylas by King Theiodamas of the Dryopians.^[1] In some accounts, Hylas' parent was Heracles, Euphemus or King Ceyx of Trachis.^[3]

Compare Menodice with Mecionice, another daughter of Orion, who gave birth to Euphemus to Poseidon.^[4][5] They might be the same woman who mothered the heroes Euphemus and Hylas to Theiodamas - this could be supported by the stories that recall Euphemus who became the husband of Laonome, half-sister of Heracles have Hylas as his arms-bearer.^[6]
