Anchiroe of Thrace
(Redirected from Anchiroe, wife of Sithon)
In Greek mythology, Anchiroe or Ankhiroê (Ancient Greek: Αγχιροη means 'pouring flow'), also called Anchinoe or Archinoe, was the consort of Sithon, son of Ares,[1] and the mother of two daughters, Pallene and Rhoetea, from whom two towns derived their names.[2][3] In some accounts, Achiroe was the mother of Sithon, Pallene and Rhoeteia by Ares instead.[4]
