Enarete
Template:Short description In Greek mythology, Enarete (Template:IPAc-en, Ancient Greek: Template:Lang "virtuous" literally "in virtue", from en "in" and arete "virtue"), or Aenarete (Template:Lang Ainarete), was a queen of Aeolia (i.e. Thessaly) and ancestor of the Aeolians.
Biography
[edit]Enarete was the daughter of Deimachus and wife of King Aeolus of Thessaly, son of the Greek progenitor Hellen.<ref>Enarete is the form found in the manuscripts of Bibliotheca 1.7.1, which Template:Harvtxt takes to be a misspelling of Aenarete, the form written in the scholia to Plato, Minos 315c, since Enarete cannot stand in a hexameter line and the Bibliotheca's primary source at this point is the epic Hesiodic Catalogue of Women. At scholia to Pindar, Pythian Odes 4.252 yet another form—Enarea (Template:Lang or Template:Lang)—is found.</ref> By the latter, she became the mother of his children including Cretheus, Sisyphus, Athamas, Salmoneus, Deion, Magnes, Perieres, Canace, Alcyone, Peisidice, Calyce and Perimede.<ref>Apollodorus, 1.7.3</ref>
Enarete may be similar to 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>
