In
Greek mythology,
Arne (; ) or
Melanippe (; ) was a daughter of
Aeolus and
Melanippe (also
Hippe or Euippe), daughter of
Chiron. She was born as a foal as her mother had been transformed into a horse as a disguise, but was returned to the human form and renamed Arne. Aeolus entrusted her to the care of one Desmontes, however
Poseidon fathered
Aeolus and
Boeotus with her while he was in the form of a
bull. Enraged, Desmontes entombed and blinded her and placed her twin sons on Mount
Pelion. She was later rescued by her sons and married king Metapontus of Icaria, and Poseidon restored her vision.
