Hmmm... Don't want too many connections here.  Hermione was affianced 
to one fellow, her mum Helen gave her to someone else instead, and 
the jilted guy ran off and killed Helen!

However, since JKR has admitted to getting the name from one of the 
rather more obscure Shakespeare plays rather than Greek mythology, I 
think we can safely say those parallels need not apply.
