In Greek mythology, the name Hesione (/hɪˈsaɪ.əniː/; Ancient Greek: Ἡσιονη) refers to various mythological figures:

- Hesione, one of the names given to the wife of Nauplius, who was the father of Palamedes, Oiax and Nausimedon. The mythographer Apollodorus reports that, according to Cercops Nauplius' wife was Hesione, and that in the Nostoi (Returns), an early epic from the Trojan cycle of poems about the Trojan War, his wife was Philyra, but that according to the "tragic poets" his wife was Clymene.[3]
- Hesione, daughter of Celeus, was one of the sacrificial victims of Minotaur.[4]

gollark: For example, as well as the time-duration-type thing ("5y2mo3w" etc) it actually supports DD/MM/YYYY as well as some weird backward thing because it uses an external library for it too.

gollark: Datetimes are very hard. AutoBotRobot has to do a bunch of stuff to make it do even roughly what people expect.
gollark: Although it does rely on JSON for encoding queries and sending results back, I guess.
gollark: Yes, but you can use it for, well, querying things, which is a thing applications often do.
