Oenone

Paris, son of the king Priam and the queen Hecuba, fell in love with Oenone when he was a shepherd on the slopes of Mount Ida, having been exposed in infancy (owing to a prophecy that he would be the means of the destruction of the city of Troy) and rescued by the herdsman Agelaus.

[7] When Paris swore he would never desert her, Oenone (through her gift of prophecy) informed him that - whilst his love for her was true now - he would later sail across the sea to find another lover and bring ruin to his family.

[8] Her prediction came true when Paris abandoned her, returning to his birth parents in Troy and sailing across the Aegean for Helen, the queen of Sparta.

[10] Mortally wounded by Philoctetes's arrow, he begged Oenone to heal him with her herbal arts,[11] but she refused and cast him out with scorn, to return to Helen's bed, and Paris died on the lower slopes of Ida.

[12] A fragment of Bacchylides suggests that she threw herself off a cliff,[13] in the Bibliotheke it is noted "when she found him dead she hanged herself", and Lycophron imagines her hurtling head first from the towering walls of Troy.

Her tragic story makes one of the Love Romances of Parthenius of Nicaea, where she jests to the messenger that Paris should have asked Helen to heal him but sets out to save her former husband all the same.
