Hesione (Oceanid) Explained
According to the 6th century BC mythographer Acusilaus, Hesione (; Ancient Greek: Ἡσιονη) was the daughter of Oceanus, the wife of Prometheus and the mother of Deucalion.[1] That she was a daughter of Oceanus and wife of Prometheus, was also repeated in Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound.[2]
