Alcidameia

A wife of Hermes and mother to Bunus who is said to have built a sanctuary to Hera on the road which led up to Acrocorinthus. Bunaea, a surname of Hera, is derived from this name. ( Pausanias Book 2)

From Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology

From Description of Greece by Pausanias Book 2

2.4.7] Above it are a temple of the Mother of the gods and a throne; the image and the throne are made of stone. The temple of the Fates and that of Demeter and the Maid have images that are not exposed to view. Here, too, is the temple of Hera Bunaea set up by Bunus the son of Hermes. It is for this reason that the goddess is called Bunaea.
