Aenete

In Greek mythology, Aenete (Ancient Greek: Αἰνήτη) was the daughter of Eusorus[1][2], and wife of Aeneus, by whom she had a son, Cyzicus, the founder of the town of this name. In some traditions she is called Aenippe.[3]

"And about the isthmus and the plain the Doliones had their dwelling, and over them Cyzicus son of Aeneus was king, whom Aenete the daughter of goodly Eusorus bare."[1]

Orphic Argonautica
"Cyzicus, the son of Aeneus who ruled over all the Doliones, came up and took a place among the heroes. He had been born to a most noble woman, Aenete, daughter of Eusorus."[2]
