In Greek mythology, Enarete /[invalid input: 'ɨ']ˈnær[invalid input: 'ɨ']t/ (Ἐναρέτη) or Aenarete (Αἰναρέτη, Ainarete), daughter of Deimachus, was the wife of Aeolus and ancestor of the Aeolians.[1] Her children were Cretheus, Sisyphus, Athamas, Salmoneus, Deion, Magnes, Perieres, Canace, Alcyone, Peisidice, Calyce, and Perimede.[2] She may have been the mother of Arne, if the Aeolus who was her husband was the same Aeolus who fathered Arne.[3]

  1. ^ Enarete is the form found in the manuscripts of Bibliotheca 1.7.1, which West (1985, pp. 59–60) takes to be a misspelling of Aenarete, the form written in the scholia to Plato, Minos 315c, since Enarete cannot stand in a hexameter line and the Bibliotheca's primary source at this point is the epic Hesiodic Catalogue of Women. At scholia to Pindar, Pythia 4.252 yet another form—Enarea (Ἐνάρεα or Ἐναρέᾱ)—is found.
