Encyclopedic overview

Pleione (Ancient Greek: Πληιόνη or Πλειόνη, romanized: Plêionê or Πλειόνη; pronounced /plaɪˈoʊniː/ or /pliːˈoʊni/, ply-OH-nee or plee-OH-nee) was an Oceanid nymph in Greek mythology and mother of the Pleiades. Pleione presided over the multiplication of the flocks, fitting, since the meaning of her name is: "to increase in number" (from the Greek word pleiôn πλεῖων "more").
