Atthis
or Attis (Ἄτθις or Ἄττις), a daughter of Cranaus, from whom Attica, which was before called Actaea, was believed to have derived its name. (Paus. 1.2.5.) The two birds into which Philomele and her sister Procne were metamorphosed, were likewise called Attis. (Martial, 1.54. 9, 5.67. 2.) [L.S]
Atthis
(Ἀτθίς). A chronicle of Attic history in which especial attention was paid to occurrences of political and religious significance. After the last half of the fourth century A.D., chronicles of this kind were composed by a number of writers (Atthidographi), among whom Androtion and Philochorus (q.v.) deserve special mention. These writings were much quoted by the grammarians.
Atthis
or Attis. (Ἄτθις, Ἄττις). See Attica.
