Hyrmine
In Greek mythology, Hyrmine (/hərˈmaɪni/;[1] Ancient Greek: Ὑρμίνη Hyrmínē [hyːrmínɛː]) or Hyrmina was an Elean princess. The town of Hyrmine, named after her, was founded by her son Actor.[2][3]
Family[]
Hyrmina was the daughter of Neleus,[3] Nycteus, or, according to others, of Epeius and , and the sister of Alector (though others assert she was an only child). She was married to Phorbas and became the mother of the Argonauts Augeas,[4] Actor,[5] Tiphys[6] and a daughter, Diogeneia.[7]
The natural father of Augeas by her may have been Helios.[8] Otherwise, Helios and Nausidame[9] or Eleios[10] or Poseidon[4] were called the parents of Augeas.
