Oenoe (mythology) explained

In Greek mythology, the name Oenoe or Oinoe (;^[1] Ancient Greek: Οἰνόη means "winy") may refer to:

• Oenoe, an Arcadian nymph, one of the nurses of infant Zeus.^[2] She is probably the same as Oeneis, a possible mother of Pan, by Zeus.^[3]
• Oenoe, an Arcadian nymph. According to a scholion on Euripides, the Tegean writer Ariathus apparently considered her to be the mother of Pan by Aether.^[4]
• Oenoe, an impious Pygmy woman, wife of Nicodamas and mother of Mopsus. She was changed by Hera into a crane because of her impiety; Hera also made the Pygmies start a war against cranes. Oenoe, missing her son, would still come near the house where he lived, which caused the war to go on and on.^[5] This Oenoe is otherwise known as Gerana.^[6]
• Oenoe, eponym of a deme in Attica (now Oinoi), sister of Epochus.^[7]
• Oenoe or Oenoie, Naiad nymph of the homonymous island, mother of Sicinus by Thoas.^[8]
• Oenoe, a Maenad follower of Dionysus.^[9]
