Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Other uses

In Greek mythology, Demonice (Шаблон:IPAc-en; Шаблон:Lang-grc) was a Aetolian princess as the daughter of King Agenor of Pleuron and Epicaste and thus sister of Porthaon and in some account, Thestius.[1] She bore Ares four sons: Evenus, Molus, Pylus, and Thestius.[2] Her son's names may be intended to be eponyms, with Evenus corresponding to the river Evinos in Aetolia; Pylus to the Aetolian city of Pylene between the rivers Achelous and Evenos; and Molus to the people named Molossians from Epirus. Demonice was also known as Demodice[3] (Δημοδίκη) or Demodoce.[4]

Mythology

Demonice was recounted by Hesiod in his Catalogue of Women in the following lines:

Demodoce whom very many of men on earth, mighty princes, wooed, promising splendid gifts, because of her exceeding beauty.[5]
