Dione in pseudo-Apollodorus According to the pseudo-Apollodorus second century A. It is worth noting that in this preface, the Titans should be listed as children of Heaven [Uranus] and earth [Gaia], not Ether and Gaia, but the notation seems to have been lost in transcription.
That is, instead of ellipses above, there must have been a stretch as: [ The Homeric Hymn to Apolo Delio Dione also cites, among the goddesses that accompany Leto to Delos and witness the birth of the god and his sister Artemis: Leto [on the island of Delos] was plagued nine days and nights with untold pain.
And they were with them all the most important goddesses, Dione and Rhea and Icnaia and Themis and Amphitrite, who lamented high, and the other immortal goddesses. Then the child jumped the light and all the goddesses launched a scream. Immediately, great Phoebus [Apollo], the goddesses washed with fresh water and wrapped in a thin newly woven white cloth and wrapped with a golden band. Is absent, however, Mnemosyne.
Ouranos and Thalassa. Zeus has been mentioned as Dione's lover, but it has not been officially confirmed. These are the eldest daughters that sprang from Ocean and Tethys; but there are many besides.
For there are three thousand neat-ankled daughters of Ocean who are dispersed far and wide, and in every place alike serve the earth and the deep waters, children who are glorious among goddesses. Aphrodite was also not the only child thought to be born from Dione, for there exists an account by 5th-century grammarian Hesychius of Alexandria, who tells us that Dione was the mother of the Roman deity Bacchus—or the Greek equivalent, Dionysus , the God of wine, whom she also bore from Zeus.
In a Homeric hymn, we understand that she travelled to Delos amongst the other goddesses to witness the birth of Apollo, who would become one of the more important prophetic gods himself. In this case, it was paramount to have witnesses, for Apollo would have been the son of Zeus.
It is also believed that Dione and the others assisted Leto with her birth of Apollo. We are told in a Homeric Hymn:. And there were with her all the chiefest of the goddesses, Dione and Rheia and Ikhnaie Ichnaea and Themis and loud-moaning Amphitrite and the other deathless goddesses.
Then the child leaped forth to the light, and all the goddesses raised a cry. Straightway, great Phoibos Phoebus [Apollon], the goddesses washed you purely and cleanly with sweet water and swathed you in a white garment of fine texture, new-woven, and fastened a golden band about you.
But Diomedes sees her coming, and before she can make the save, her strikes her with his spear between her wrist and palm. Fearful of the Greek Hero, Aphrodite flees to Olympus, where Dione is seen to heal her wound and to console her by reciting the wounds that other gods had received by the mortals, perhaps in an effort to reassure her that she was going to be okay.
She also assures her that those who go against the gods will never win and that Diomedes is on the wrong side of the battle. They mounted the chariot of Ares, god of war, and flew to Mount Olympos. Once she reached the sacred mountain, Aphrodite went to Dione. Dione wiped away the oozing ikhor from Aphrodite's wounded wrist and tried to comfort the sobbing goddess.
Dione sought to make Aphrodite realize that even though she was immortal, she was still subject to pain and injury. When Dione spoke to Aphrodite, she revealed priceless information about the vulnerabilities of the Immortals. Ikhor was the juice , not blood, that flows in the veins of the gods. First, Dione told Aphrodite how Ares had once been bound and held prisoner by the gigantic brothers, Ephialtes and Otos. They confined Ares inside a brass cauldron for thirteen months
