Named for one of the Hyades which were said to have been originally nymphs, daughters of Atlas and an oceanid named Aethra {see planet (132)}. Their number varies from two to seven, and their names were no less variable. The most usual seem to have been Ambrosia {see planet (193)}, Eudora {(217)}, Aesyle, Coronis {(158)}, Dione {(106)}, Polyxo {(308)} and Phaeo. (M.-A. Combes)
