Eleni

[PhilyG]

On the Wikipedia page about love and lust deities, specifically under the greek mythology section, a goddess called Eleni is mentioned. She's supposed to be the goddess of oral sex, cunnilingus , and sexual pleasure. Her name's red so there isn't a wikipedia page about her. That wouldn't be a problem but I also don't find anything on the internet about her.

Can someone who knows better than me tell me if that's a typo or if such a goddess was believed in?
