'she who is under the authority of Zeus') is the name of four women in ancient Greek mythology, and one in the Phoenician religion described by Sanchuniathon.
[3] This association does not prevent her, however, from being worshipped along with Zeus as a deity of springs, making her a water-goddess.
[3] One of the Hyades, the rain-bringing nymphs,[6] is Dione, the daughter of Atlas and an Oceanid nymph (either Pleione or Aethra); she[7] married king Tantalus and bore him sons Pelops and Broteas, and a daughter, Niobe.
[8] Among the 50 Mediterranean sea-nymphs called the Nereides was one Dione, like the others a daughter of Nereus and Doris.
[9][10][11] In the Phoenician History, a literary work attributed to Sanchuniathon, a daughter of Uranus/Heaven and Gaia/Earth is called Dione and also Baaltis.
