Hydna of Scione (alternately called Hydne or Cyana) (fl. 480 BC) [1] was an Ancient Greek swimmer and diver given credit for contributing to the destruction of the Persian navy in 480 BC.

Hydna of Scione, an exceptional figure in ancient Greece, earned her place in history for her remarkable swimming and diving abilities during the Greco-Persian Wars. Her courageous actions not only contributed to Greek victories but also symbolize the resilience and strength of women in the ancient world.

Hydna, the daughter of Scyllis, was a 5 th Century BCE swimmer and diver from Scione in Greece (Robinson 1923, 110). Not much is recorded about her history, but we do have accounts claiming her responsibility in sinking one of Xerxes’ fleets during the Persian Wars with the aid of her father (Robinson 1923, 110).
