Dirce
(
Δίρκη), a daughter of Helios and wife of Lycus. Respecting her story, see AMPHION, p. 151a. Her body was changed by Dionysus, in whose service she had been engaged, into a well on mount Cithaeron. (
Hyg. Fab. 7.)
A small river near Thebes likewise received its name from her. (
Paus. 9.25.3.)
