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: What should people use instead of Python? (Do not suggest C, or you will be wrong.)

gollark: slow + ratio + Send + Sync + Clone + Copy + 'static

gollark: Onto more important things: functional programming - do it, or do it continuously all the time?

gollark: This entire argument is ridiculous. Just store ASTs on disk and have your editor convert to your preferred syntax on-demand.

gollark: The great thing about representing functions as an infinite set of ordered pairs is that defining inverse functions is really easy.
