Aegiale (mother of Alcyone) explained

Aegiale (mother of Alcyone) should not be confused with Aegiale (wife of Diomedes).

In Greek mythology, Aegiale (Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: Αἰγιάλη) was the mother of Alcyone by Aeolus, according to the mythographer Hyginus.^[1] In other accounts, it is instead Enarete who is the mother of Alcyone by Aeolus.^[2]
