Dione

Goddess of fertility and prophecy. Dione (Διώνη) is an oracular goddess and Titaness. She is primarily known from Book V of Homer's Iliad, where she tends to the wounds suffered by her daughter Aphrodite. In myth, Dione is either presented as an Oceanid - one of the daughters of Oceanus and Tethys - or the thirteenth Titan and a daughter of Gaia and Uranus.
Her name essentially is the feminine of the genitive form of Greek Ζεύς Zeús, that is, Διός Diós (from earlier Διϝός Diwós), "of Zeus". Other goddesses also were called by this name.

Parents - Uranus and Gaia / or Aether and Gaia / or Oceanus and Tethys
Siblings - Oceanids and Potamids / or Titans
Consort - Zeus
Children - Aphrodite (Homer) - Due to being a daughter of Dione, Aphrodite was sometimes called "Dionaea" (Διωναίη Diōnaíē) and even "Dione".

The mythology concerning Dione is not consistent across the existing sources.

Homer
In Book V of the Iliad, during the last year of the Trojan War, Aphrodite attempts to save her son Aeneas from the rampaging Greek hero Diomedes as she had previously saved her favorite Paris from his duel with Menelaus in Book III. Enraged, Diomedes chases her and drives his spear into her hand between the wrist and palm. Escorted by Iris to Ares, she borrows his horses and returns to Olympus. Dione consoles her with other examples of gods wounded by mortals - Ares bound by the Aloadae and Hera and Hades shot by Heracles - and notes that Diomedes is risking his life by fighting against the gods.

In fact, Diomedes subsequently fought both Apollo and Ares but lived to an old age; his wife Aegialia, however, took other lovers and never permitted him to return home to Argos after the war.
Dione then heals her wounds and Zeus, while admonishing her to leave the battlefield, calls her daughter.
Homeric hymn to Apollo - Dione is named first among the "chiefest of goddesses" to appear on Delos when she had heard of Leto's painful and prolonged labor. Alongside her were Rhea, Ichnaea, Themis, and Amphitrite; as well as "the other deathless goddesses," save for Hera, who was responsible for the prolonged labor. It has been suggested that by "chiefest of goddesses," titanesses were meant, and that these were an alternate list of them.

Hesiod
Dione is not mentioned in Hesiod's treatment of the Titans, although the name does appear in the Theogony among his list of Oceanids, the daughters of Oceanus and Tethys, and according to Hesiod, Aphrodite was born from the foam created by the severed genitals of Uranus, when they were thrown into the sea by Cronus, after he castrated Uranus.

Pseudo-Apollodorus
The mythographer Apollodorus (first or second century AD) includes Dione among the Titans and makes her the child of Gaia and Uranus. He makes her the mother of Aphrodite by Zeus but clearly describes Dione as one of the god's adulterous partners and not his wife.

Hyginus
The Genealogy or Preface of Gaius Julius Hyginus's Fabulae, lists Dione among the children of Terra (Earth) and Aether.

Hesychius
The 5th-century grammarian Hesychius of Alexandria described Dione as the mother of Bacchus in her entry from his Alphabetical Collection of All Words. This is separately supported by one of the scholiasts on Pindar.

In Greek mythology Dione (Διώνη) is the name of several women :
- Dione, a goddess worshipped at Dodona. She is variously described as both an Oceanid, as the daughter of Oceanus and Tethys, and a Titaness, as the daughter of Gaia and Uranus. She is often said to be the mother of Aphrodite by Zeus. The name is sometimes used as an epithet of Aphrodite-Venus herself.

- Dione, one of the Hyades, the rain-bringing nymph daughters of Atlas and a mother whose identity varies. She is also said to be a Dodonian nymph who nursed Dionysus in his youth along with the rest of the Dodonian Hyades, and thus potentially identified with the above Dione.

- Dione, a daughter of Atlas who married king Tantalus and bore him Pelops and Niobe. As a daughter of Atlas, she might be identical with the Hyad Dione.

- Dione, one of the fifty Nereids, daughters of Nereus and Doris.

- Dione, mentioned in the Phoenician History, a literary work attributed to Sanchuniathon, as a daughter of Uranus/Heaven and Gaia/Earth, also called Baaltis. She is a sister of Cronus/Elus whom the latter made his wife after their father sent her, and her sisters, to kill him. The latter gave the city Byblos to Dione. The exact identity of this Dione is uncertain: Sanchuniathon may have meant to identify her with Dione the Titaness. From her name Baaltis and association with Byblos she is taken to be Baalat Gebal, the patron goddess of Byblos. However, some scholars identify her with Asherah, proposing that Sanchuniathon merely uses Dione as a translation of Asherah's epithet Elat.
