Unsolved:Hesione (Oceanid)

Greek mythology

In Greek mythology, Hesione (/hɪˈsaɪ.əniː/; Ancient Greek: Ἡσιόνη) was the daughter of Titan Oceanus probably by his sister-wife Tethys, and thus counted among the Oceanids.[1] She was the wife of her cousin Prometheus and the mother of Deucalion.[2] That she was a daughter of Oceanus and wife of Prometheus, was also repeated in Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound.[3]
