Hippe

In Greek mythology, Hippe (Ancient Greek: ; , ), also known as Melanippe or Euippe, was the daughter of the Centaur Chiron and Chariclo. She was seduced by Aeolus and bore a daughter, Melanippe or Arne, but was ashamed to tell her father. Artemis took pity on her and, according to one account, turned her into the constellation Pegasus originally called the Horse.
