In Greek mythology, Ino ( EYE-noh; Ancient Greek: Ἰνώ [iːnɔ̌ː]) was a Theban princess who later became a queen of Boeotia. After her death and transfiguration, she was worshiped as a goddess under her epithet Leucothea, the "white goddess." Alcman called her "Queen of the Sea" (θαλασσομέδουσα thalassomédousa), which, if not hyperbole, would make her a goddess parallel to Amphitrite.
