Mendeis

In Greek mythology, Mendeis (Ancient Greek: Μενδέις) was a Thracian nymph who became the mother of Pallene by King Sithon. Her husband had the habit of killing one by one the suitors of her daughter.[1] In some accounts, Pallene's mother was called Anchiroe instead.[2] Mendeis might have been associated with the city of Mende.
