In [[Greek mythology]], '''Arethusa''' ({{IPAc-en|ˌ|ær|ᵻ|ˈ|θj|uː|z|ə}}; {{lang-grc|Ἀρέθουσα|Aréthousa}}) is a minor figure from [[Ithaca (Homer)|Ithaca]] who is transformed into a fountain bearing her name. Her story survives in scholia on [[Homer]]'s epic poem the ''[[Odyssey]]''.
== Mythology ==
Arethusa was a woman from the island of [[Ithaca (island)|Ithaca]]; other than a son, no other family or lineage of hers is preserved. According to an anonymous scholiast on [[Homer]], Arethusa had a son named Corax (meaning "raven") who was a hunter. One day while hunting a hare, Corax accidentally fell off a cliff and died. Out of grief for losing her son, the inconsolable Arethusa transformed into a fountain bearing her name on the spot Corax died, while the rock there took the name of the dead son thereafter.<ref>Scholia on the ''[[Odyssey]]'' [https://books.google.com/books?id=ksEMAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA577 408]</ref>
In the ''[[Odyssey]]'', after returning home following a long ten-year long journey, the disguised king [[Odysseus]] finds his slave [[Eumaeus]] tending the swine next to the rock of Corax and the fountain of Arethusa.<ref>[[Homer]], ''[[Odyssey]]'' [https://books.google.com/books?id=KflQEAAAQBAJ&pg=PA263 13.379-81]</ref>{{sfn|Greatheed|Parken|Williams|Conder|1809|page=[https://books.google.com/books?id=6w03AAAAYAAJ&pg=PA121 121]}}
The Arethusa fountain can be still found on Ithaca to this day.
