In Greek mythology, Enarete (/ɪˈnærɪtiː/, Ancient Greek: Ἐναρέτη "virtuous" literally "in virtue", from en "in" and arete "virtue") or Aenarete (Ancient Greek: Αἰναρέτη Ainarete), was the daughter of Deimachus, was the wife of Aeolus and ancestor of the Aeolians.[1] Her children were Cretheus, Sisyphus, Athamas, Salmoneus, Deion, Magnes, Perieres, Canace, Alcyone, Peisidice, Calyce, and Perimede.[2] She may have been the mother of Arne, if the Aeolus who was her husband was the same Aeolus who fathered Arne.[3]
Notes[edit]
- ^ Enarete is the form found in the manuscripts of Bibliotheca 1.7.1, which West (1985, pp. 59–60) takes to be a misspelling of Aenarete, the form written in the scholia to Plato, Minos 315c, since Enarete cannot stand in a hexameter line and the Bibliotheca's primary source at this point is the epic Hesiodic Catalogue of Women. At scholia to Pindar, Pythia 4.252 yet another form—Enarea (Ἐνάρεα or Ἐναρέᾱ)—is found.

- ^ Pausanias, Description of Greece, 9. 40. 5; Diodorus Siculus (Library of History, 4. 67), however, states that the father of Arne was the great-grandson of Aeolus, husband of Enarete
