Pyrene, daughter of King
Bebrycius and a lover (or victim, depending on the myth) of
Heracles. She bore a serpent and became so terrified that she fled to the woods where she died. Heracles created a tomb for her by piling up rocks thus forming the mountain range of the
Pyrenees, named after her.[1][2][3]
