Rhoeteia
In Greek mythology, Rhoeteia (Ancient Greek: Ῥοιτείαa Rhoiteia) was the name which can be attributed to two distinct women who gave their name to the Trojan promontory of Rhoeteium.[1]
- Rhoiteia, daughter of the sea-god Proteus.[2]
- Rhoeteia, a Thracian princess as daughter of the King Sithon and the naiad Achiroe.[3] She was a sister of Pallene.[4]
