Hesione (Oceanid)

According to the 6th century BC mythographer Acusilaus, Hesione (/hɪˈsaɪ.əniː/; 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] She may be identical to Pronoia (means "care" or "forethought") who was given as Deucalion's mother according to various sources.
