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]
