She was betrothed of Alcmaeon, son of Amphiaraus of Argos, and mothered by him two sons, Amphoterus and Acarnan.

Callirrhoe (Jordan)
Callirrhoe or Callirrhoë ( ar, عين الزارة, '''Ein ez-Zara''; grc-gre, Θερμὰ Καλλιρόης, ''Thermà Kallirhoēs'') is an archaeological site in Jordan in which remains of a nymphaeum can be traced, though it is considered difficult to be interpreted. Callirrhoe is known in ancient literature for its thermal springs, because it was visited by King Herod according to Josephus shortly before his death, as a final attempt to be cured or relief his pains. It remains unknown if the ''greatest builder in Jewish history'' is related to any of the observable remains in the area. Callirrhoe is referred by Pliny the Elder (''Natural History'', 70-72), Ptolemaeus (''Geography'' 15,6) and Solinus (''De mirabilibus mundi'' 35,4) as well as in a Midrash. Names The Greek name ''Kallirhoē'' means "beautiful brook" or "spring". The Arabic name ''Ayn az-Zara'' is sometimes derived from the root ''zar'a'' ("to sow"), in view of the agricultural function of the oasis. More pr ...

Callirhoe (novel)
''Callirhoe'' (or ''Chaereas and Callirhoe'' ( grc, Τῶν περὶ Χαιρέαν καὶ Καλλιρρόην) which more closely aligns with the title given at the head of the manuscript) is an Ancient Greek novel by Chariton, that exists in only one (somewhat unreliable) manuscript, from the 13th century. It was not published until the 18th century, and remained dismissed until the twentieth. It nevertheless gives insight into the development of ancient prose fiction. It is one of five Ancient Greek novels known today. Evidence of fragments of the text on papyri suggests that the novel may have been written in the mid 1st century AD, making it the oldest surviving complete ancient prose romance and the only one to make use of apparent historiographical features for background verisimilitude and structure, in conjunction with elements of Greek mythology, as Callirhoë is frequently compared to Aphrodite and Ariadne and Chaereas to numerous heroes, both implicitly and explici ...
