Template:Short description In Greek mythology, Enarete (Template:IPAc-en, Ancient Greek: Script error: No such module "Lang". "virtuous" literally "in virtue", from en "in" and arete "virtue"), or Aenarete (Script error: No such module "Lang". Ainarete), was a queen of Aeolia (i.e. Thessaly) and ancestor of the Aeolians.

Biography

Enarete was the daughter of Deimachus and wife of King Aeolus of Thessaly, son of the Greek progenitor Hellen.[1] By the latter, she became the mother of his children including Cretheus, Sisyphus, Athamas, Salmoneus, Deion, Magnes, Perieres, Canace, Alcyone, Peisidice, Calyce and Perimede.[2]

Enarete may be similar to Eurydice who bore Salmoneus, Sisyphus and Cretheus to Aeolus.[3]

Notes

<templatestyles src="Reflist/styles.css" />

  1. Enarete is the form found in the manuscripts of Bibliotheca 1.7.1, which Script error: No such module "Footnotes". 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 (Script error: No such module "Lang". or Script error: No such module "Lang".)—is found.
