Rhode (wife of Helios)
Rhode ( Greek Ῥόδη ) is the namesake in Greek mythology for the island of Rhodes and consort of the sun god Helios . It cannot be separated from Rhodes ( Ῥόδος ), so the genealogical relationships are accordingly confused. She is the daughter
- of Poseidon and Amphitrite ,
- of Poseidon and Aphrodite ,
- of Poseidon and Halia ,
- of the Ocean
- of Asopus and Theia .
It is almost certain that she was the wife of Helios, although after a scholion at Lycophron she was also married to Poseidon.
Her children with Helios are the Heliadai , seven sons, namely Ochimos , Aktis , Kerkaphos , Kandalos , Triopas , Makareus and Phaethon and Tenages , as well as a daughter, Elektryone . According to a Homerscholion, on the other hand, the children are Phaethon and the three Heliads : Lampetie , Phaetusa and Aigle . Here the children of the Clymene with Helios were assigned to her.
