Henioche (daughter of Pittheus)

Henioche ( Greek  Ἡνιόχη ) is a figure in Greek mythology .

According to Plutarch in his biography of Theseus , the only source, Henioche was a daughter of Pittheus . With Kanethos she had the highwayman and robber Skiron as her son, with Plutarch restricting that, in the opinion of other people, Sinis was the son. Although so prominently introduced by Plutarch and associated with the founding of the Isthmian Games , there is no other evidence of this henioche.
