Her lineage also traced back to Chiron, while her codex relations listed Aeolus as a consort. Hesiod stated that Theseus legally married Hippe, a union that caused Theseus to break oaths sworn to Ariadne.1,2 From this marriage, Hippe became the mother of Capylus, a son of Heracles.3

In Ephesus, Hippe performed a holy rite for the goddess, yet she was not tearless when Artemis refused to dance around the altar.4,5 King Ptolemy joked that she had already consumed plenty of hay.6 Tragedy struck when an infant was killed immediately after being struck by the tail of a serpent.7
