Μακρις
A daughter of Aristeus of Euboes. She and her father reared the baby Dionysus who had been entrusted to them by Hermes. When Hera, who ruled the island, drove the god away, he took refuge in the island of Corcyra (Corfu) which became known as Macris. There he lived in a cave with two entrances where, later on, Jason and Medea were to celebrate their wedding (see ALCINOUS).
