Αγχίση is a figure from Greek mythology, known as the husband of Hecuba and the father of Priam, the king of Troy. He is often depicted as a mortal man who had a significant role in the events leading up to the Trojan War. In some myths, Αγχίση is also recognized for his relationship with the goddess Aphrodite, with whom he had a son named Aeneas. Aeneas later became a central character in Virgil's epic, the Aeneid, where he is portrayed as a hero who escapes the fall of Troy and eventually founds Rome.
