Two Ismenes appear in Greek mythology. The more famous is a daughter and half-sister of OEDIPUS, daughter and grand-daughter of JOCASTA, and sister of ANTIGONE, ETEOCLES AND POLYNICES. She is a brave and honourable character much loved by Sophocles, who includes her in several of his plays. An Ismene is also the daughter, by METOPE, of the river-god ASOPUS
