Macaria
Macaria or
Makaria (
Greek Μακαρία) is the name of two figures from
ancient Greek religion and
mythology. Although they are not said to be the same and are given different fathers, they are discussed together in a single entry both in the 10th-century
Byzantine encyclopedia the
Suda and by
Zenobius.
Macaria
[Greek] Macaria was the daughter of Heracles and appears in Euripides's play Heraclidae (The Children of Heracles). When she and her siblings took refuge from Eurystheus with Demophon, king of Athens, Eurystheus prepared to take them from the kingdom by force. Oracles told Demophon that his city would win the battle over Heracles's descendants only if a highborn maiden was offered as a sacrifice to Persephone. On hearing this, Macaria offered to die for her siblings. The spring where she died was named the Macarian spring in her honor.
