Amymone

Amymone was a Greek mortal.
==Mythology==
===Ending of a Drought===
Danaus and his fifty daughters moved to Argos in Greece from Libya in North Africa. However, Argos was suffering from a terrible drought so Danaus sent his daughters out to different areas in search of a water source. Amymone was sent to Lerna where he was seduced by Poseidon. Afterwards, Poseidon caused a spring to gush from the earth, relieving the drought.
===Marriage to Enceladus===
Amymone and her forty-nine sisters were set to marry their fifty cousins, the sons of their father's brother, Aegyptus. Their father, Danaus, told his daughters to murder their husbands on their wedding nights. All of the Danaides, except one, did as their father wanted and were punished by being forced to carry water and fill a bathtub with holes in it to wash away their sins.
