In Greek mythology, Demonice (/ˌdɛməˈnaɪsiː/; Ancient Greek: Δημονίκη, romanized: Dēmonī́kē) was a Aetolian princess as the daughter of King Agenor of Pleuron and Epicaste and thus sister of Porthaon and in some account, Thestius.[1] She bore Ares four sons: Evenus, Molus, Pylus, and Thestius.[2] Her son's names may be intended to be eponyms, with Evenus corresponding to the river Evinos in Aetolia; Pylus to the Aetolian city of Pylene between the rivers Achelous and Evenos; and Molus to the people named Molossians from Epirus. Demonice was also known as Demodice[3] (Δημοδίκη) or Demodoce.[4]
