dione
Greek An obscure, ancient divinity of prehistoric Greece, said to be a daughter of Oceanus and Tethys, closely associated with the cult of the god Zeus. Scholars point out that her name is a feminine form of the name Zeus. Homer said that she was the mother, with Zeus, of the goddess Aphrodite, though most sources say that Aphrodite, goddess of love and fertility, was born from Uranus and Gaia. Dione was venerated at Dodona as the consort of Zeus.
