Name/story

Evidently it's "Erinoma", though Fontenrose p. 171 gives her name as Erinoma (Erinona, Erittoma, Erynome?). Seems it's only known in Latin? And without verse or apeces, we don't know where the stress lies. Here's the story in Servius auct.

Maurus Servius Honoratus (auctus), Commentary on the Eclogues of Vergil, 10.18. Georgius Thilo, Ed.

Et de hoc fabula talis: In Cypro insula regnavit Cinyras, habens filiam Myrrham nomine, quae Solis ira in amores incidit patris, cum quo etiam ministerio nutricis concubuit. Namque nutrix Myrrhae dixit Cinyrae, esse quandam puellam, quae eius amore flagraret et concubitum nocte in tenebris propter verecundiam expeteret virginalem: hoc Cinyras, incitatus libidine, pollicitus est: cupiens deinde videre vultus puellae, lumen iussit inferri, visamque filiam persequi cum gladio coepit, ut interficeret, quae gravida de patre confugit in silvas, ibique mutata est in arborem nominis sui, sed infantem conceptum etiam in cortice retinuit, et postmodum dente apri excisum emisit in lucem, qui a nymphis educ[a]tus, Adonis cognominatus est, quem quia Venus adamavit, Mars in aprum transfiguratus occidit. Quem multi miseratione Veneris in rosam conversum dicunt.

Est etiam alter ordo huius fabulae: Ex Aegypto Epiviotasterius et Yon fratres ad insulam Cyprum profecti sunt, atque ibi sortiti uxores, ex quorum genere Celes procreatus est, qui habuit Erinomam (al. Erittomam) filiam. Haec cum esset nimiae castitatis, et hoc (ob hoc) a Minerva et Diana diligeretur, Veneri esse coepit invisa: quae cum puellae castitati insidiaretur, in amorem eius inpulit Iovem. Quem dolum postquam Iuno animadvertit, ut fraudem fraude superaret, petit a Venere, ut in amorem puellae Adonem inflammaret, quem (quam?) posteaquam nulla fraude sollicitare in eius amorem potuit, obiectis quibusdam nebulis, ipsum Adonem in penetrale Virginis perduxit. Ita pudicitia puella per vim et fraudem caruit, sed hanc Diana irata (miserata?) circa Cisseum fluvium in pavonem mutavit. Adonis vero ubi cognovit se amatam Iovis vitiasse, metuens profugit in montis Casii silvas, ibique inmixtus agrestibus versabatur, quem dolo Mercurii monte deductum[,] cum aper[,] quem fabulae Martem loquuntur, vehementer urgeret, et ab Adone vinceretur, repente fulmen Iuppiter iecit et Adonem morti dedit: sed cum Venus illusum sibi, et mortem amati Adonis saepe quereretur, Mercurius miseratus imaginem Adonis, ut vivere crederetur, ad suos reduci fecit. Iuno autem a Iove petiit, ut Adonis in lucis patriis aevum degeret: tum Diana puellae Erinomae formam pristinam reddidit, quae tamen ex Adone Taleum (Vossius: Talum s. Teleum) filium procreavit, et cum viro permansit.
