While many speculate that Dione had no true divine function, other than the mother of Aphrodite, others show sources that indicate that Dione did, in fact, have a divine domain.

In such cases where she is ascribed a specific function, she has been called goddess of the Oracle at Dodona; she has also been called goddess of doves, and goddess of the oak tree. Some others call her a goddess of moisture (in particular a goddess of moist soil that marks fertile ground).

Some even go so far as to say she is the female counterpart of Zeus (her name being the feminine form of Dios, another spelling of Zeus' name).
