In Greek mythology, Hiscilla (Ἴσχυλλα, Ischylla) was a Phthian princess as daughter of King Myrmidon and possibly Peisidice (daughter of Aeolus), thus sister of Antiphus, Actor,[1] Dioplethes,[2] Eupolemeia[3] and probably Erysichthon[4] who was otherwise known as her son by Triopas.[5] By the latter, she also became the mother of Phorbas[6] and Iphimedeia.[7]
