- Helice, nurse of the god Zeus during his infancy on Crete.[2] 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[3] and Merope (Aero).[4]
- Helike, an Aegialian princess as the only daughter of King Selinus who wed her with Ion.[5] By the latter, she became the mother of Bura. Later on, Ion built a city which he named after Helice.[6][7]
- Helike, in antiquity, a common proper name for the constellation Ursa Major.[8]
