Oenoe
(Οἰνόη).
1. The name given by Antoninus Liberalis (16) to a person commonly called Gerana. [Gerana].
2. A sister of Epochus, from which the Attic demus of Oenoe was believed to have derived its name. (Paus. 1.33, in fin.)
3. An Arcadian nymph, who is said to have been one of those that brought up the infant Zeus. (Paus. 8.47.2.) [L.S]
OE´NOE (Οἰνόη).
1.A small town on the northwest coast of the island of Icaria. (Strab. 14. p. 639; Steph. B. s. v.; Athen. 1. p. 30.) This town was probably situated in the fertile plain below the modern Messaria. The name of the town seems to be derived from the wine grown in its neighbourhood on the slopes of Mount Pramnus, though others believe that the Icarian Oenoë was a colony of the Attic town of the same name. (Comp. Ross, Reisen auf den Griech. Inseln, ii. pp. 159, 162.)
2.A port-town on the coast of Pontus, at the mouth of the river Genius, which still bears its ancient name of Oenoë under the corrupt form Unieh. (Arrian, Peripl. Pont. Eux. p. 16; Anonym. Peripl. p. 11; comp. Hamilton, Researches, 1. p. 271.)
3.An ancient name of the island of Sicinus. [SICINUS.] [L.S]
OE´NOE (Οἰνόη: Eth. Οἰνοαῖος, Οἰναῖος).
1.An Attic demus near Marathon. [MARATHON]
2.An Attic demus near Eleutherae, upon the confines of Boeotia. [Vol. 1. p. 329, No. 43.]
3.A fortress in the territory of Corinth. [Vol. 1. 685b.]
4.Or OENE (Οἴνη, Steph. B. s. v.), a small town in the Argeia, west of Argos, on the left bank of the river Charadrus, and on the southern (the Prinus) of the two roads leading from Argos to Mantineia. Above the town was the mountain Artemisium (Malevós), with a temple of Artemis on the summit, worshipped by the inhabitants of Oenoe under the name of Oenoatis (Οἰνωᾶτις). The town was named by Diomedes after his grandfather Oeneus, who died here. In the neighbourhood of this town the Athenians and Argives gained a victory over the Lacedaemonians. (Paus. 2.15.2, 1.15.1, 10.10.4; Apollod. 1.8.6; Steph. B. s. v.) Leake originally placed Oenoe near the left bank of the Charadrus; but in his later work he has changed his opinion, and supposes it to have stood near the right bank of the Inachus. His original supposition, however, seems to be the correct one; since there can be little doubt that Ross has rightly described the course of the two roads leading from Argos to Mantineia. (Leake, Morea, vol. 2. p. 413, Pelopon. p. 266; Ross, Reisen im Peloponnes, p. 133.)
5.Or BOEONOA, a town of Elis, near the Homeric Ephyra. (Strab. 8. p. 338.) [Vol. 1. 839b.]

(5) A town in the island of Icaria.
(6) A fortress of the Corinthians on the Gulf of Corinth.
