    The Story Behind Pyrene

    Pyrene is a name rooted in Greek mythology. Pyrene was a princess, daughter of Bebryx, a king in the Mediterranean region. According to one myth, she was raped by Hercules and fled into the mountains, where she gave birth to a snake and died. Hercules, filled with remorse, buried her and named the mountains after her, which became the Pyrenees. Another version of the myth suggests she was a daughter of King Pyreneus of Daulis, who tried to abduct the Muses and was killed. The name itself is thought to be derived from the Greek word 'pyr' (πῦρ), meaning 'fire'.
