Gorge

A daughter of Oeneus and Althaea, and the wife of Andraemon. When Artemis metamorphosed her sisters into birds, on account of their unceasing lamentations about their brother Meleager, Gorge and Deianeira alone were spared.

According to Apollodorus, she became the mother of Tydeus by her own father. Her son Thoas led the Aetolians against Troy.
