Maira, daughter of Proitos, son of Thersander, and of Anteia, daughter of Aphianax, was outstanding for her beauty. As she placed a very high value on her virginity, she used to follow Artemis to the hunt. Zeus desired her, and he came to her by stealth, and seduced her. She became pregnant and bore a child, Lokros by name, who dwelt at Thebes with Amphion and Zethos. The story goes that Maira was shot by the bow of Artemis because of no longer attending at the hunt. This is told by Pherekydes. V. (Transl. Mary Emerson) Greek Text EGM pp. 182, 312, 508, 733 lower
