Helle - Mythology. Greek Daughter of Athamas and Nephele; sister of Phrixus. Helle and her brother fled from Ino, their stepmother, on the back of the winged ram with the famed Golden Fleece, which Hermes sent to them. One story has it that Helle fell from the air and drowned at a place in the ocean that came to be called the Hellespont in her honor, but Phrixus was rescued by Aeetes.
