Myrice (mythology)
In Greek mythology, Myrice ( ;  ) is a minor figure from the island of Cyprus. Like both of her siblings Myrrha and Amaracus, she was transformed into a plant bearing her name. Family 
She was the daughter of Cinyras, a king of Cyprus, and thus sister to Myrrha and Amaracus, thus aunt/half-sister to Adonis. Mythology 
The mournful Myrice was transformed into a tamarix tree (myrike in Greek), possibly by Aphrodite, as the tamarisk was her sacred tree. Additionally, a Hellenistic and Roman-era cult dedicated to Myricaean Apollo (, "Apollo of the Tamarisk") is attested on the Northeastern Aegean island of Lesbos. See also
