Ione (mythology)

Ione is a name that appears in Greek mythology, though not consistently with a fixed character or story. It's associated with several different figures, leading to some ambiguity.

• A Nereid: Ione is listed as one of the fifty daughters of Nereus and Doris, making her a Nereid, a sea nymph. These Nereids were benevolent deities of the sea, known for their beauty and helpfulness to sailors.

• A Daughter of Adrastus: Hyginus mentions an Ione as a daughter of Adrastus, king of Argos. Adrastus is famous for being the only leader of the Seven Against Thebes to survive the disastrous expedition. However, details about this Ione are scarce. She is not a prominent figure in the narratives surrounding Adrastus and his family.

Due to the limited and sometimes conflicting information about figures named Ione, it's difficult to construct a comprehensive or definitive mythological profile. Her significance is more in her potential associations (Nereid, daughter of a king) than in any detailed narrative of her own.
