(), a daughter of Cadmus and Harmonia, was the
wife of Aristaeus, by whom she became the mother of Polydorus. (Hesiod. Theog. 977; Paus. 10.17.3.) According to Apollodorus
(3.4.2, &c.), Polydorus was a brother of Autonoe, and
Actaeon was her son. (Comp. Diod. 4.81.) Autonoe together with her
sister Agave tore Pentheus to pieces in their Bacchic fury. (Hyg. Fab. 184.) At last grief and sadness at the lamentable fate of
the house of her father induced her to quit Thebes, and she went to Erineia in the territory
of Megara, where her tomb was shewn as late as the time of Pausanias. (1.44.8.) There are five
other mythical personages of this name. (Hesiod. Theog. 258 ; Apollod. 1.2.7, 2.1.5, 7.8; Paus. 8.9.2; Hom. Od. 18.182.)
