Dione (mythology)
Dione is the name of four women in ancient Greek mythology, and one in the Phoenician mythology of Sanchuniathon. ''Dione'' is translated as "Goddess", and given the same etymological derivation as the names ''Zeus'', ''Diana'', et al. Very little information exists about these nymphs or goddesses, though she is described as beautiful and is sometimes associated with water or the sea. She was worshiped as a Mother Goddess who presided over the oracle at Dodona.
Dione is identified as the mother of the Roman goddess of love, Venus,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.britishmuseum.org/explore/highlights/highlight_objects/gr/b/bronze_of_venus_or_dione.aspx )〕 or equivalently as the mother of the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite; but Dione is also sometimes identified with Aphrodite.
==Titaness/Oceanid==
A Dione is among the Titanides or Titanesses. She is called a daughter of Okeanos and Tethys, hence an Oceanid, a water-nymph. She is otherwise called a daughter of Gaia; according to worshippers of Orpheus her father is the sky-god Ouranos,〔 while others identify her father as Aether. She and Zeus are called the parents of Aphrodite by some ancient sources.〔Smith, 1873. "Dione"〕 Hesiod listed Dione among the wives of Zeus who were daughters of Tethys and Okeanos; she is described as beautiful in the "sacred books of Orpheus".〔Kerenyi, 1974. pp. 40, 42〕 She was one of the goddesses assembled to witness the birth of Apollo.〔Kerenyi, 1974. p. 133〕
The Greek goddess of love sometimes takes the name Dione: this may identify her with Aphrodite, though Homer calls Dione the mother of Aphrodite. Károly Kerényi notes in this context that the name Dione resembles the Latin name Diana, and is a feminine form of the name Zeus (cf Latin ''deus'', god), hence meaning "goddess of the bright sky".〔Kerenyi, 1974. pp. 68–69〕 This association does not prevent her, however, from being worshipped along with Zeus as a deity of springs, making her a water-goddess.〔
