Crino
In Greek mythology, the name Crino (/ˈkraɪnoʊ/; Ancient Greek: Κρινώ) may refer to:
- Crino, one of the many consorts of King Danaus of Libya, mother of the Danaïdes Callidice, Oeme, Celaeno and Hyperippe. These daughters wed and slayed their cousin-husbands, sons of King Aegyptus of Egypt and Hephaestine during their wedding night.[1] According to Hippostratus, Danaus had all of his progeny by a single woman, Europe, daughter of the river-god Nilus.[2] In some accounts, he married his cousin Melia, daughter of Agenor, king of Tyre.[3]
- Crino, daughter of Antenor[4] and Theano. Pausanias mentions a painting of her by Polygnotus, where she is portrayed standing next to her father, with a baby in her arms.[5]
