Milye
In Greek mythology, Milye (Ancient Greek: Μιλύη, romanized: Milúē) was a local eponymous heroine and sister of Solymus[1], thus possible daughter of Zeus and Chaldene[2] or Calchedonia[3]. Her first husband was her own brother and later on Cragus,[1] son of Tremilus and the nymph Praxidice.[4]
