エーリゴネー（イーカリオスの娘）
ギリシア神話では、エーリゴネー（Erigone、Ἠριγόνη）はアテネのイーカリオスの娘である[1] 。
神話
イーカイロスはディオニューソスに心を寄せ、羊飼いたちにワインを与えた。彼らは酔い潰れ、毒を盛られたと思い、イーカイロスを殺してしまった。娘のエーリゴネーと、彼女の愛犬のマイラ（Maera）が遺体を発見した。エーリゴネーは父の墓の上で首を吊った。
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, found his body. Erigone hanged herself over her father's grave.[2] 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 by Dionysus or Zeus who pitied their misfortune.[3]
According to Ovid, Dionysus "deceived Erigone with false grapes",[4] that is, assumed the shape of a grape cluster to approach and seduce her.
