Rhene (mythology)

Template:Greek myth (nymph)In Greek mythology, Rhene (Ancient Greek: Ῥήνη) may refer to the following personages:

* Rhene, a nymph of Mount Cyllene.[1] She was the lover of Hermes and mother by him of Saon (or Samon) of Samothrace.[2]
* Rhene, also a nymph who was a paramour of Oileus and mother of his son Medon,[3] although some suggest that Oileus fathered Medon with Alcimache.[4] In one source, Rhene is given as the mother of Oileus' another son, Ajax the Lesser, as well,[5] though the latter is more commonly said to be the son of Oileus' legitimate wife Eriopis.[6]
