Messene (mythology)

After her father-in-law died, her husband's brother Myles inherited the throne to Laconia.

It was not her intent to be wed to an anonymous man, so she went about gathering an armed force from both Argos and Laconia.

Once their army was ready, the newly married couple invaded a nearby territory.

[2] Glaucus, the son of Aepytus and grandson of Cresphontes, established a hero cult of Messene.

[5] Pausanias remarks that he checked through The Great Ehoiai, Naupactica and the works of Cinaethon and Asius of Samos in search for information concerning children of Polycaon and Messene, but found no relevant information.
