Dione (Oceanide)

In Greek mythology, Dione (Greek: Διωνη, "She-Zeus" or "Divine One") was an oracular Titanide who presided over the Oracle of Dodona. She was one of the Oceanides and, thus, a daughter of Oceanus and Tethys according to Hesiod. Apollodorus writes that she was a daughter of Uranus and Gaea, while Hyginus names her as a daughter of Aether and Gaea. Some sources claim her to be the mother of Aphrodite by Zeus but most sources say Aphrodite was born from the sea foam.
The only myth where Dione was mentioned was in Homer's Iliad when Dione tends to the injuries of her daughter, Aphrodite.
