In Greek mythology, '''Rhoeteia''' (Ancient Greek: Ῥοιτείαa ''Rhoiteia'') was the name which can be attributed to two distinct women who gave their name to the Trojan promontory of Rhoeteium.<ref>Stephanus of Byzantium, s.v. ''[https://topostext.org/work/241#R547.7 Rhoiteion]''</ref> These two might be related by blood.
* Rhoeteia, a Thracian princess as daughter of the King Sithon and the naiad Achiroe.<ref>Tzetzes on Lycophron, 583 & 1161</ref> She was a sister of Pallene.<ref>Conon, ''Narrations'' 10</ref> * Rhoiteia, a daughter of the sea-god Proteus.<ref>Scholia on Apollonius of Rhodes, 1.929 (ed.
