Lethaia
Lethaia ( Greek Ληθαία ), wife of Olenos , is a figure in Greek mythology .
The couple has only come down to us from one place in Ovid . Apparently Lethaia had boasted of her beauty to a goddess - an offense that could not go unpunished. Olenos wanted to take the punishment, after which both were turned into stones.
Ovid's formulation umida Ide (“ source- rich Ide”) is interpreted to mean that the scene of the event was the Trojan Ida Mountains .
