Hellotia
A daughter of Timander, and sister of Eurytione. The two sisters were killed in the temple of Athena when the Dorians burned down Corinth. Soon after their deaths a plague broke out at Corinth, and the oracle declared that it should not cease until the souls of the maidens were propitiated, and a sanctuary should be erected to Athena Hellotia or Hellotis.
