Pleione was an Oceanid nymph. She lived in a southern region of Greece called Arcadia, on a mountain named Mount Kyllini. She married Atlas and gave birth to the Hyades, Hyas and the Pleiades.

These seven daughters were thought to have committed suicide, either over their father's death, or their sibling's (the Hyades).
