Isonoe

(Ἰσονόη) - One of the Danaïdes, the fifty daughters of King Danaus. While most of her sisters famously murdered their husbands on their wedding night, Isonoe caught the eye of the king of Olympus. Their love affair produced a son named Orchomenus, who grew up to become a founding king and the namesake of the ancient city of Orchomenus in Boeotia. Following her mortal death, local legends state that Zeus lovingly transformed her body into a sacred, flowing freshwater spring to preserve her memory.
