Amymone

Amymone was a Greek mortal.

Mythology
Amymone and her family moved to Argos. When they arrived they found that the land was completely dry because of a drought caused by Poseidon. Danaus sent all fifty of his daughters out in search of water and Amymone went to Lerna where she was seduced by Poseidon. Afterwards, he caused a spring of water to come from the earth, ending the drought.

Later in her life, she was to marry one of the sons of Aegyptus. However, she did as her father ordered and killed her husband on their wedding night. She was then punished in Tartarus to carry water in a sieve.
