Daughter of Pitana and Poseidon, raised by Aepytus, who bore Iamus to Apollo and hid her pregnancy before giving birth in secret.
Pitana, who, it is said, lay with Poseidon son of Cronus, and bore a child, violet-haired Evadne.
And when the king had driven back from rocky Pytho, he questioned everyone in the household about the child whom Evadne had borne.
And she laid down her purple and saffron girdle, and her silver pitcher, and beneath a blue-shaded thicket gave birth to a god-inspired boy.
