Topic: Galanthis

	Alcmena, Greek Mythology Link - www.maicar.com
		According to some, Galanthis (who is also called Galinthias and Historis) was the daughter of a Theban called Proetus 3, whereas others say that her father was the seer Tiresias.
		Galanthis then, fearing that the birth pangs would madden her mistress, came out and informed them that Alcmena had given birth and that their privileges had been abolished.
		But later Hecate, feeling pity for Galanthis, adopted the weasel as her sacred servant; and on earth, when Heracles 1 was a grown up man, he, remembering Galanthis' service, let build a statue of her to which the Thebans, during a long time, offered sacrifices before celebrating the festivities in honour of Heracles 1.

	The Birth and Childhood of Herakles
		During the protracted labor of Alkmene, Hera sped up the birth of Sthenelos' son Eurystheus, and, since Eurystheus was a descendant of Perseus, he won the kingship of Mycenae that Zeus had intended for Herakles.
		Alkmene would probably still be in labor, in fact, if she had not had a clever servant named Galanthis, who recognized Eileithyia and came out of Alkmene's room to announce (falsely) that Alkmene had just given birth to a son.
		Hera angrily changed Galanthis into a weasel, and on the next night Almene gave birth to her other son Iphikles, Amphitryon's child.
