Callithyia (mythology)
In Greek mythology, Callithyia or Kallithyia (/ˌkælɪˈθaɪ.ə/; Ancient Greek: Καλλίθυια) may refer to two different women:
- Callithyia, daughter of Peiras[1] and mother of Trochilus.[2]
- Callithyia, one of the daughters of King Aeolus of Lipara, the keeper of the winds.[3] She had six brothers namely: Periphas, Agenor, Euchenor, Klymenos, Xouthos, Macareus, and five sisters: Klymene, Eurygone, Lysidike, Kanake and an unnamed one.[4] According to various accounts, Aeolus yoked in marriage his sons and daughters, including Kallithyia, in order to preserve concord and affection among them.[5][6]
