epith. of Ζεὺς ὄμβριος (cf. ὑέτιος), Hsch., Theognost. Can. 18.

II as the god of fertilizing moisture

epith. of Dionysus, Cli<to>dem. 21, Euph. 14 (in Hsch. also Ὑεύς, in Sch. Ar. Av. 874 Ὕας), as the god of fertilizing moisture, Plu. Isid. 2.364d: cf. Ὑάδες II, Ὕη. The invocation Ὕης ἄττης in D. 18.260 is of doubtful meaning; Ὕης is placed among ξενικοὶ θεοί by Ar. Fr. 878 (cf. Apolloph. 7). (Acc. to Hdn.Gr. 1.59 Ὑῆς is the correct accent.)
