Dione era una de les nimfes anomenades híades o portadores de pluja, filla d'Atlas i d'una oceànide que podria ser Plèione o Etra. Es va casar amb el rei frigi Tàntal, li va donar dos fills (Pèlops i Broteas) i una filla (Níobe). Entre les 50 nimfes de la Mediterrània anomenades nereides hi havia una Dione que, com les altres, era filla de Nereu i Doris. (ca) Dione (/daɪˈoʊniː/; Ancient Greek: Διώνη, romanized: Diṓnē, lit. 'She-Zeus' or δῖος dîos means 'divine one') is the name of four women in ancient Greek mythology, and one in the Phoenician religion described by Sanchuniathon. Dione is translated as "Goddess", and given the same etymological derivation as the names Zeus, Diana, et al. Very little information exists about these nymphs or goddesses, although at least one is described as beautiful and is sometimes associated with water or the sea. Perhaps this same one was worshiped as a mother goddess who presided over the oracle at Dodona, Greece and was called the mother of Aphrodite. One Dione is identified as the mother of the Roman goddess of love, Venus, or equivalently as the mother of the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite; but Dione is also sometimes identified with Aphrodite.
