Beroe, nurse of
Semele, whose shape Hera took in order to destroy the
Theban princess. The goddess told Semele to ask Zeus to come to her as he comes to Hera, so that she would know what pleasure it is to sleep with a god. At her suggestion Semele made this request to Zeus, and was smitten by a thunderbolt.[5]
Beroe, wife of
Doryclus, was an old lady among the
Trojan women who followed
Aeneas to exile, and who burned the ships in
Italy, having been persuaded to do so by
Iris, who appeared in the shape of Beroe.[6]
