In Greek mythology, Aenete (Ancient Greek: Αἰνήτη) was the daughter of Eusorus,[1] and wife of Aeneus, by whom she had a son, Cyzicus, the founder of the town of this name.[2] In some traditions she is called Aenippe.[3]

Mythology

Apollonius' account

"And about the isthmus and the plain the Doliones had their dwelling, and over them Cyzicus son of Aeneus was king, whom Aenete the daughter of goodly Eusorus bare."[4]

Orphic Argonautica

"Cyzicus, the son of Aeneus who ruled over all the Doliones, came up and took a place among the heroes. He had been born to a most noble woman, Aenete, daughter of Eusorus."[5]
