In Greek mythology, Helice ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|h|ɛ|l|ᵻ|k|iː}} pronounced {{IPA-el|heˈlikɛː|}}, modern {{IPA-el|eˈlici}}; Ancient Greek: {{lang|grc|Ἑλίκη}} Helike means "willow"[1]) was a name of several women:

  • Helice, nurse of the god Zeus and nurtured him in his infancy on Crete.[2] Her name suggests that she was a "willow-nymph", just as there were oak-tree nymphs and ash-nymphs (Dryads and Meliae). It is likely that she is the same as Ide.
  • Queen Helike, wife of King Oenopion of Chios and mother by him of Melas, Talus, Maron, Euanthes, Salagus, Athamas[3] and Merope.
  • Helike, wife of Ion and mother of Bura. Ion built the city and named it after his wife. They were wed by her father Selinus.
  • Helike, in antiquity, a common proper name for the constellation Ursa Major.[4]
