In Greek mythology, Oenone was a nymph of MountIda and a daughter of the River Cebren. She married Paris, before he was aware that he was a Trojan prince, and later tried to dissuade Paris from seeking Helen, but he ignored her and deserted her. Years later, wounded Paris was brought to Oenone to heal, she refused because he had deserted her, and he was taken away. Repenting, Oenone went after Paris but it was too late, he was dead, and in her grief she hanged herself. Research Oenone
