Script error: No such module "For". In Greek mythology, Hippe (Template:IPAc-en; Ancient Greek: Ἵππη; English translation: "mare (horse)"), also known as Melanippe[1] (Template:IPAc-en; Μελανίππη) or Euippe (Template:IPAc-en; Εὐίππη), was the daughter of the Centaur Chiron and Chariclo.[2] She was seduced by Aeolus and bore a daughter, Melanippe or Arne, but was ashamed to tell her father. Artemis took pity on her and, according to one account, turned her into the constellation Pegasus originally called the Horse.[3]
