Apollodorus mentioned Erigone as daughter of Icarus {see planet  (1566)}, who hanged herself when she learned that her father had been killed by drunken shepherds. She was changed into the constellation Virgo. According to Pausanias, Erigone was a daughter of Aegisthus and Clytemnestra {see planet  (179)} and has a son by Orestes. She brought Orestes to trial for the murder of her mother and hanged herself when Orestes was acquitted before the Areopagus. (Z 98) _ _.
