In
Greek mythology,
Andromache (; ,
Andromákhe ) was the wife of
Hector, daughter of
Eetion, and sister to
Podes. She was born and raised in the city of
Cilician Thebe, over which her father ruled. The name means "man battler" or "fighter of men" (note that there was also a famous Amazon warrior named "Andromache," probably in this meaning) or "man's battle" (i.e. "courage" or "manly virtue"), from the Greek stem "man" and "battle".
