Mycene (mythology) GudangMovies21 Rebahinxxi LK21

      In Greek mythology, Mycene (Ancient Greek: Μυκήνη, romanized: Mykene), was a daughter of Inachus, king of Argos and wife of Arestor. Mycene was said to be the eponym of Mycenae.


      Mythology


      Homer's Odyssey, calling her "Mycene of the fair crown" mentions her in passing, along with Tyro and Alcmene, as "women of old ... fair-tressed Achaean women". Pausanias, citing the Megalai Ehoiai, says that Mycene was the daughter of Inachus and the wife of Arestor, without naming the mother. However, a scholiast on Homer's Odyssey says that Mycene was the daughter of Inachus and the Oceanid nymph Melia, and that, according to the Epic Cycle, Mycene and Arestor were the parents of Argus Panoptes. As the daughter of Inachus, she would have been therefore the sister of Phoroneus, who, according to Argive tradition, was the first man, or first inhabitant of Argos, who lived during the time of the Great Flood, associated with Deucalion.
      According to Pausanias—among several accounts of how the city Mycenae got its name—one was that Mycene gave "her name to the city".


      Modern interpretation


      It was speculated that Mycene was born in 1765 BC in Phoroneus (later called Argos) to Inachus and Argia (Melia) who were both residing near the upstreams of Cephisus River near Mt. Parnassus. She was the sister of Phoroneus, Aegialeus (Aezeius) and Themisto.
      Mycene married Arestor who was of the same family as Telchin, the third king of Sicyon. The first inhabitants of Mycenae are thought to have been the Telchines. Around 1750 BC, Mycene’s husband Arestor named after her the newly founded city of Mycenae. This city was probably founded at the same time with Argos and Sicyon which were both established by Mycene’s two brothers respectively.
