Oenoe (mythology)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Greek mythology, the name Oenoe or Oinoe (/ˈɛnoʊ.iː/;[1] Ancient Greek: Οἰνόη, lit. 'winy') may refer to:
- Oenoe, an Arcadian nymph, one of the nurses of infant Zeus.[2] She is probably the same as[citation needed] Oeneis, a possible mother of Pan, by Zeus.[3]
- Oenoe, an Arcadian nymph. According to a scholion on Euripides, the Tegean writer Ariathus apparently considered her to be the mother of Pan by Aether.[4]
- Oenoe, an impious Pygmy woman, wife of Nicodamas and mother of Mopsus. She was changed by Hera into a crane because of her impiety; Hera also made the Pygmies start a war against cranes. Oenoe, missing her son, would still come near the house where he lived, which caused the war to go on and on.[5] This Oenoe is otherwise known as Gerana.[6]
- Oenoe, eponym of a deme in Attica (now Oinoi), sister of Epochus.[7]
- Oenoe or Oenoie, Naiad nymph of the homonymous island, mother of Sicinus by Thoas.[8]
- Oenoe, a Maenad follower of Dionysus.[9]
