Atthis (mythology)
In Greek mythology, Atthis (Ancient Greek: Ατθίς) or Attis, was a daughter of Cranaus, from whom Attica, which was before called Actaea, was believed to have derived its name.[1]
The two birds into which Philomele and her sister Procne were metamorphosed, were likewise called Attis.[2]
