Henioche (daughter of Creon)

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

Henioche was a daughter of the Theban king Creon . Together with her sister Pyrrha she had a stone statue in front of the temple of Apollon Ismenios in Thebes, which Pausanias mentions.

It is possible that in the figure of Henioche there is a reflex of an old, Boeotian local deity who merged with Hera and can still be found in the Epiklesis Henioche for Hera in the Boeotian city of Lebadeia .
