Ochne

In Greek mythology, Ochne (Ancient Greek: Ὄχνη, romanizedÓkhnē, lit.'pear tree'), also romanised as Ochna, is a young Boeotian maiden who fell in love with the local hero Eunostus, who was also her cousin. When he rejected her romantic advances, Ochne went to her three brothers and accused him of rape, which prompted them to ambush and kill Eunostus, filling Ochne with regret and shame, which led to her taking her life. Her brief tale is preserved in the writings of Plutarch, a Greek writer of the Roman era.
