In [[Greek mythology]], '''Erigone''' ({{lang-grc|Ἠριγόνη}}) was the daughter of [[Icarius (Athenian)|Icarius of Athens]].<ref>[[Apollodorus of Athens|Apollodorus]], 3.14.7</ref> 

== Mythology ==
Icarius was cordial towards [[Dionysus]], who gave his shepherds wine. They became intoxicated and killed Icarius, thinking he had poisoned them. His daughter, Erigone, and her dog, [[Maera (hound)|Maera]], found his body. Erigone hanged herself over her father's grave.<ref>[[Gaius Julius Hyginus|Hyginus]], ''Fabulae'' 243</ref> Dionysus was angry and punished [[Athens]] by making all of the city's maidens commit suicide in the same way. Unfortunately, it was the instability of Dionysus who gave all the maidens alcohol as part of his cult. Erigone was placed in the stars as the [[constellation]] [[Virgo (constellation)|Virgo]] by Dionysus or [[Zeus]] who pitied their misfortune.<ref>Hyginus, [[De Astronomica|''De'' ''Astronomica'']] 2.4.4; ''Fabulae'' 130</ref>

According to Ovid, Dionysus "deceived Erigone with false grapes",<ref>[[Ovid]], ''[[Metamorphoses]]'' 6.125: ''Erigonen falsa decepit uva''</ref> that is, assumed the shape of a grape cluster to approach and seduce her.
