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]
