Διώνη (Diṓnē)[1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Greek_mythological_figures Titaness of the oracle of Dodona.
Dione (/daɪˈoʊni/; Greek: Διώνη, Diōnē) was an ancient Greek goddess, an oracular Titaness[1] primarily known from Book V of Homer‘s Iliad, where she tends to the wounds suffered by her daughter Aphrodite. One source describes her as an ancient wife of Zeus.[2]
Her name is essentially the feminine of the genitive form of Greek Zeus, that is, “Dios”, “of Zeus”. Other goddesses were called by this name[1][3] (see Dione). Due to her being a daughter of Dione, Aphrodite was sometimes called Dionaea and even Dioné.[4]
Following the deciphering of Linear B by Ventris and Chadwick in the 1950s, a goddess named Di-u-ja was found in the tablets. This was considered to be a female counterpart of Zeus and identified with Dione by some scholars.[who?]
