Othreis

(Ὀθρηΐς) - An Oread nymph of Mount Othrys in central Greece who was loved by both Zeus and Apollo. According to the mythological accounts of Antoninus Liberalis, her secret encounter with Zeus resulted in the birth of a son named Meliteus. Fearing the fierce jealousy of Hera, Othreis abandoned the infant in the woods; however, Zeus ensured the baby's survival by having a swarm of bees feed him honey until he was rescued, later growing up to found the city of Meliteia.
