Gerana was a queen of the Pygmy folk in Greek mythology. She boasted to be more beautiful than the goddess Hera and was transformed by the angry goddess into a crane (Greek γέρανος geranos). The bird descendants of Gerana waged an eternal war on the Pygmies during their winter migration to the shores of the river Oceanus.[1]
Gerana was otherwise[2] known as Oenoe.
