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