=Amȳmōne=, daughter of Danaus and Europa, married Enceladus son of Ægyptus, whom she murdered the first night of her nuptials. She wounded a satyr with an arrow which she had aimed at a stag. The satyr pursued her, and even offered her violence, but Neptune delivered her. It was said that she was the only one of the 50 sisters who was not condemned to fill a leaky tub with water in hell, because she had been continually employed, by order of her father, in supplying the city of Argos with water in a great drought. Neptune saw her in this employment, and was enamoured of her. He carried her away, and in the place where she stood, he raised a fountain by striking a rock. The fountain has been called Amymone. She had Nauplius by Neptune. _Propertius_, bk. 2, poem 26, li. 46. ――_Apollodorus_, bk. 2.――_Strabo_, bk. 8.――_Pausanias_, bk. 2, ch. 37.――_Ovid_, _Amores_, bk. 1, li. 515.――_Hyginus_, fable 169.――――A fountain and rivulet of Peloponnesus, flowing through Argolis into the lake of Lerna. _Ovid_, _Metamorphoses_, bk. 2, li. 240. =Amyntas I.=, was king of Macedonia after his father Alcetas.
