Anchiale (mythology)
In Greek mythology, Anchiale or Ankhiale (Ancient Greek: Ἀγχιάλη) was the name of the following personages:
- Anchiale, said to have founded the town of Anchiale near Tarsus in Cilicia. Her father was named Iapetus, and she had a son named Cydnus.[1][2]
- Anchiale, a Cretan nymph, who gave birth to the metalworking Idaean Dactyls in the Dictaean cave.[3][4] She was also seen as a Titan goddess and perhaps represented the warmth of fire. She was the wife of Hecaterus. [5]
- Anchiale, according to Servius, was the mother of Oaxes by Apollo.[6][7]

gollark: The project is currently shelved due to the caching interacting poorly with dynamic sites and the lack of programming languages sufficient to contain the power it wields.
gollark: I could also make live-updating things, make the theming actually good, A/B-test unsuspecting users, and make achievements work better.
gollark: No JS, server rendering of comment sections.
gollark: This would also result in "improved" comments and some other things.
