According to [[John Tzetzes]], Arne was the nurse of the young [[Poseidon]], who denied knowing where he was when [[Cronus]] came searching for him.<ref>[[John Tzetzes|Tzetzes]] ad [[Lycophron (sophist)|Lycophron]], [https://topostext.org/work/860#644 644]</ref>{{AI-generated source|date=November 2024}} Aeolus entrusted her to the care of one Desmontes.
