	HYADES 1, Greek Mythology Link - www.maicar.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The HYADES 1 were sisters of Hyas, or else his daughters, and when Hyas died while hunting, killed by a lion, a boar, or a Lybian lioness, they grieved his death exceedingly, and turned into the stars called Hyades which are in the constellation of Taurus.
		Also the HYADES 1, who previously were the NYMPHS DODONIDES [see NYMPHS], are called nurses of Dionysus 2, and it is said that they, and not Hermes, delivered the god, when he still was a defenceless child, to Athamas 1's wife Ino, so that she and her husband should rear him.
		At other times, the HYADES 1 are considered to be the MAENADS who were put to flight by Lycurgus 1, the King of the Edonians (Thrace) or of the island of Naxos, or of the Arabians, who was the first to oppose and expel Dionysus 2.

		Hyas, in Greek mythology, was a son of the Titan Atlas by Aethra (one of the Oceanids).
