In Greek mythology, Eione (The name comes from the ancient Greek word ēïṓn, which means seashore, riverbank, or beach.Kerenyi, p. 65.) was the Nereid of beach sand. She was one of the 50 sea-nymph daughters of the 'Old Man of the Sea' Nereus and the Oceanid Doris.Hesiod, Theogony 255; Apollodorus, 1.2.7.
