Editing Enarete

{{Short description|Daughter of Deimachus in Greek mythology}}
In [[Greek mythology]], '''Enarete''' ({{IPAc-en|ᵻ|ˈ|n|æ|r|ᵻ|t|iː}}, [[Ancient Greek]]: {{lang|grc|Ἐναρέτη}} "virtuous" literally "in virtue", from ''en'' "in" and ''arete'' "virtue"), or  '''Aenarete''' ({{lang|grc|Αἰναρέτη}} ''Ainarete''), was a queen of [[Ancient Thessaly|Aeolia]] (i.e. [[Thessaly]]) and ancestor of the [[Aeolians]].

== Biography ==
Enarete was the daughter of [[Deïmachus (mythology)|Deimachus]] and wife of King [[Aeolus (son of Hellen)|Aeolus]] of Thessaly, son of the [[Greeks|Greek]] progenitor [[Hellen]].<ref>Enarete is the form found in the manuscripts of ''[[Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus)|Bibliotheca]]'' [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Apollod.+1.7.1 1.7.1], which {{harvtxt|West|1985|pp=59–60}} takes to be a misspelling of Aenarete, the form written in the [[scholia]] to [[Plato]], ''Minos'' 315c, since Enarete cannot stand in a [[Dactylic hexameter|hexameter]] line and the ''Bibliotheca''<nowiki/>'s primary source at this point is the [[Epic poetry|epic]] [[Hesiod]]ic ''[[Catalogue of Women]]''. At scholia to [[Pindar]], ''[[Pindar's First Pythian Ode|Pythian Odes]]'' 4.252 yet another form—Enarea ({{lang|grc|Ἐνάρεα}} or {{lang|grc|Ἐναρέᾱ}})—is found.</ref> By the latter, she became the mother of his children including [[Cretheus]], [[Sisyphus]], [[Athamas]], [[Salmoneus]], [[Deioneus|Deion]], [[Magnes (son of Aeolus)|Magnes]], [[Perieres (king of Messenia)|Perieres]], [[Canace]], [[Alcyone and Ceyx|Alcyone]], [[Pisidice|Peisidice]], [[Calyce (mythology)|Calyce]] and [[Perimede (mythology)|Perimede]].<ref>[[Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus)|Apollodorus]], [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Apollod.+1.7.3&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0022:book=1:chapter=7&highlight=Enarete 1.7.3]</ref>

Enarete may be similar to [[Eurydice (Greek myth)|Eurydice]] who bore Salmoneus, Sisyphus and Cretheus to Aeolus.<ref name="Eur.Mellan.2">[[Euripides]], ''Melanippe Wise'' test. i (Collard and Cropp, pp. 572, 573).</ref>
