In
Greek mythology, the Oenotropae ("they who change wine") were the three daughters of
Anius:
Spermo (goddess of grain),
Oeno (goddess of wine) and
Elais (goddess of oil).Their grandfather was
Dionysus, and he gave them the power to change water into wine, grass into wheat and berries into olives. For this reason no-one around them ever had to starve.When the Greek fleet set out to make
war in Troy, it was the Oenotropae who stocked their ships, and
Agamemnon was so impressed with this that he wanted to abduct them. Dionysus saved them, however, by turning them into doves.
