Aesyle (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Aesyle, also called Phaesyle (Ancient Greek: Φαισυλη Phaisylê means 'shining' from phainô) was one of the three or five Hyades, sisters that were rain-bringing nymphs. She was the sister of Eudora and Ambrosia[1], Polyxo and Coronis,[2] and Cleeia and Phaeo.[3] They were called the daughters of the Titan Atlas by either the Oceanids Aethra[4] or Pleione,[5] or of Hyas and Boeotia.[6]
