Aegina bore at least two children: Menoetius by Actor, and Aeacus by Zeus, both of whom became kings. The son made immortal, Aeacus, was the king of Aegina, and was known to have contributed help to Poseidon and Apollo in building the walls of Troy. Mythology[edit] The Abduction of Aegina[edit] Legend has it that Zeus took the form of an eagle (or a great flame in Ovid's telling) and abducted Aegina,[3] taking her to an island near Attica,[4] then called Oenone;[5] henceforth known by her name. Aegina's father Asopus chased after them; his search took him to Corinth, where Sisyphus was king. Aegina eventually gave birth to her son Aeacus, who became king of the island.
