Herse

In Greek mythology, Herse (Ἕρση "dew") may refer to the following figures:


 * Herse, daughter of Selene by Zeus, see Ersa.
 * Herse, daughter of Cecrops.
 * Herse, one of the many consorts of King Danaus of Libya and mother of his daughters Hippodice and Adiante. These daughters wed and slayed their cousin-husbands, sons of King Aegyptus of Egypt and Hephaestine during their wedding night. According to Hippostratus, Danaus had all of his progeny by a single woman, Europe, daughter of the river-god Nilus. In some accounts, he married his cousin Melia, daughter of Agenor, king of Tyre.
