Arne (daughter of Aeolus)

In Greek mythology, Arne (/ˈɑːrniː/; Ancient Greek: Ἄρνη), also called Melanippe^[1] or Antiopa^[2], was the daughter of Aeolus and Melanippe (also Hippe or Euippe), daughter of Chiron.^[3]

Mythology[]

Arne was born as a foal as her mother had been transformed into a horse as a disguise, but was returned to the human form and renamed Arne. Aeolus entrusted her to the care of one Desmontes. However, Poseidon fathered Aeolus and Boeotus^[4] with her while he was in the form of a bull. Enraged, entombed and blinded her and placed her twin sons on Mount Pelion. She was later rescued by her sons and married king of Icaria, and Poseidon restored her vision.^[5]^[3]

Through Boeotus, she was the ancestress of the Boeotians.^[5] A city named after her was recorded in the Iliad's Catalogue of Ships which has been tentatively identified with the ruins of Gla.
