Oenoe (mythology)
In Greek mythology, the name Oenoe or Oinoe (Οἰνόη) may refer to:
- 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.[1] This Oenoe is otherwise known as Gerana.
- Oenoe, eponym of a deme in Attica (now Oinoi), sister of Epochus.[2]
- Oenoe, an Arcadian nymph, one of the nurses of infant Zeus.[3] She is probably the same as Oenoe, possible mother of Pan by Aether,[4] and Oeneis, also a possible mother of Pan, this time by Zeus.[5]
- Oenoe or Oenoie, Naiad nymph of the homonymous island, mother of Sicinus by Thoas.[6]
- Oenoe, a Maenad follower of Dionysus.[7]
