Antiope

(Ἀντιόπη) - A princess of Thebes whose striking beauty caught the attention of the king of Olympus. To approach her while she slept in a hidden glade, Zeus assumed the form of a rustic satyr. When her resulting pregnancy brought shame upon her royal family, she fled but was captured and brutally tortured by her aunt, Dirce. Antiope eventually escaped to give birth to twin sons, Amphion and Zethus, who grew up to avenge their mother and construct the monumental fortifications of Thebes.
