In Greek mythology, Helice (/ˈhɛlɪsiː/ (modern Greek pronunciation: [eˈlici]; Ancient Greek: Ἑλίκη [heˈlikɛː] Helike) means "willow") was a name shared by several women:
- Helice, nurse of the god Zeus during his infancy on Crete. Her name suggests that she was a "willow-nymph", just as there were oak-tree nymphs and ash-nymphs (Dryads and Meliae). It is likely that she is the same as Ide.
- Helike, a nymph who became the wife of King Oenopion of Chios and mother by him of Melas, Talus, Maron, Euanthes, Salagus, Athamas and Merope (Aero).
- Helike, an Aegialian princess as the only daughter of King Selinus who wed her with Ion. By the latter, she became the mother of Bura. Later on, Ion built a city which he named after Helice.
- Helike, in antiquity, a common proper name for the constellation Ursa Major. In one version, Demeter asks the stars whether they know anything about her daughter Persephone's abduction, and Helice tells her to ask Helios, who knows the deeds of the day, because the night is blameless and knows nothing.
- Helike (/ˈhɛlɪkiː/; Greek: Ἑλίκη, pronounced [heˈlikɛː], modern Greek pronunciation: [eˈlici]) was an ancient Greek polis (city-state) that was submerged by a tsunami in the winter of 373 BC. It was located in the regional unit of Achaea, northern Peloponnesos, two kilometres (12 stadia) from the Corinthian Gulf and near the city of Boura, which, like Helike, was a member of the Achaean League.
