Meta (mythology)

Meta ( ancient Greek Μήτα ) is a person from Greek mythology .

She appears in the library of Apollodorus as the daughter of Hoples and the first wife of the Athenian king Aigeus . In other traditions of the myth, this daughter of Hoples is called Melite , which is why it was discussed whether the non-Attic name Meta is a transcription error or whether the original name was changed to the Attic name Melite.
