Issa

In Greek mythology, Issa (/ˈiːsɑː/; Ancient Greek: Ἴσσα) or Isse may refer to two women:

Isse, daughter of Macareus and Canace, children of Aeolus, and a lover of Apollo.[1] She was usually called Amphissa.[2]
Issa, the eponymous nymph of Issa (Lesbos). She became the mother of the prophet Prylis by Hermes.[3] This son predicted to the Greeks that they would take Troy by means of the Wooden Horse.[4] She may be the daughter of King Macar and thus, sister of Methymna,[5] Mytilene, Agamede, Antissa, Arisbe,[6] Cydrolaus, Neandrus, Leucippus[7] and Eresus.[8]
