Rhene (mythology)
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.[1][2]
- Rhene, also a nymph who was a paramour of Oileus and mother of his son Medon,[3][4] although some suggest that Oileus fathered Medon with Alcimache.[5] In one source, Rhene is given as the mother of Oileus' another son, Ajax the Lesser, as well,[6] though the latter is more commonly said to be the son of Oileus' legitimate wife Eriopis.[7]

gollark: What?
gollark: True, but they would do more badly and complain more.

gollark: I mean, intense abstract things may be out of reach for bored teenagers being taught maths at school.
