Ianeira or Ianira (Template:IPAc-en; Ancient Greek: Ἰάνειρά means 'lady of the Ionians'[1]) or Janira[2] was a name attributed to three characters in Greek mythology.
- Ianeira, one of the 3,000 Oceanids, water-nymph daughters of the Titans Oceanus and Tethys.[1][3] According to the Homeric Hymn, she one of the "deep-bosomed daughters of Oceanus" gathering flowers with Persephone when she was abducted by Hades.[4]
- Ianeira, one of the 50 Nereids, marine-nymph daughters of the "Old Man of the Sea" Nereus and the Oceanid Doris.[1][5] She and her other sisters appear to Thetis when she cries out in sympathy for the grief of Achilles at the slaying of his friend Patroclus.[6]
