Ichnae (Ancient Greek: Ἴχναι) was a town in ancient Thessaly.
Strabo wrote that it is in the district of Thessaliotis and adds that it is the place where Themis Ichnae was venerated.
[1] The mention of "Ichnae" as epithet of Themis also appears in the Homeric Hymn to Apollo and in the Alexandra of Lycophron.
[2] It is assumed that the epithet derives from the town of Ichnae but it has also been suggested that, since the meaning of Ἴχναι is "the one who tracks," a quality which is perfectly applicable for a goddess of justice, it could be that the toponym of Ichnae derives from the epithet.
