Antissa (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Antissa (Ancient Greek: Ἄντισσα) was a princess of Lesbos as the daughter of King Macar[1] and probable sister to Methymna,[2] Mytilene,[3] Agamede,[4] Arisbe[5] and Issa.[6] Her possible brothers were Cydrolaus, Neandrus, Leucippus[7] and Eresus.[8] She was the eponym of the city Antissa on the said island.[1] In some account, Antissa was claimed to be Macareus' wife instead.[9]
