In Greek mythology, Elara (/ˈɛlərə/ EL-ər-ə; Ancient Greek: Ελάρα) or Elare, also called Larissa[1], was a mortal princess, the daughter of King Orchomenus and mother of the giant Tityos by Zeus. In some accounts, she was the described as the daughter of Minyas instead.[2][3] MythZeus fell in love with Elara and hid her from his wife Hera's jealous rage by placing her deep beneath the Earth. This was where she gave birth to Tityos, a giant who is sometimes said to be the son of Gaia, the Earth goddess, for the reason being an earth-born (γηγενής gigenis "native") and brought up under the earth. It is further added that Elara died in labour because of the enormous size of her baby.[4][5] The cave through which Tityos was believed to have come to the surface of Earth was located on Euboea and referred to as Elarion.[6] EponymyOne moon of Jupiter is named Elara.[7] References1. ^Pseudo-Clement, Recognitions 10.21-23 {{DEFAULTSORT:Elara (Mythology)}}2. ^Scholiast on Homer, Odyssey 7.324 3. ^Eustathius on Homer, Odyssey 7.324, p. 1581 4. ^Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 1. 4. 2. 5. ^Scholia on Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 1.761 citing Pherecydes 6. ^Strabo, Geography, 9. 3. 15 7. ^{{cite journal|last=Marsden|first=B.
