Greek – ENARETE WIFE OF AEOLUS
ENARETE IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY
ENARETE WIFE OF AEOLUS
Enarete was a queen Ancient Greece, for she was married to Aeolus, son of Hellen, grandson of Deucalion. Enarete herself was the daughter of Deimachus, a man about whom nothing else is known.
Aeolus ruled a land then known as Aeolia, though it would later be known as Thessaly, but he and Enarete would become the ancestors of all the Aeolian people; the Aeolians being one of the four ancient tribes, alongside the Achaeans, Dorians and Ionians. |
