Αυρα
Whose name means breeze, was the daughter of a Phrygian woman named Periboea and the Titan Lelantus. She was as swift as the wind and was one of Artemis' hunting companions. Dionysus loved her and tried vainly to catch her while she ran but she was lighter and always escaped until, at Dionysus' request, Aphrodite struck her with madness so that she yielded to him. She had twin sons by Dionysus but destroyed them in her madness and threw herself into the river Sangarius. Zeus changed her into a stream. One of her twin sons was Inachus.
