Tinjis

Tinjis (Berber languages: ⵜⵉⵏⵊⴰ, romanized: Tinja) (also called Tinga, and also spelled as Tingis) was a Libyan queen as the wife of King Antaeus in Berber and Greek mythology,[1] and some kind of a female deity.

[2] Tinjis bore Antaeus daughters named Alceis or Barce[3] and probably Iphinoe who mothered Palaemon by the hero Heracles.

[4] The historian and archaeologist Mustapha Ouachi noticed that the city Tangier is geographically related to its myth.

According to their myth, Sufax built the city "Tangier" (which was known as Tingis in the ancient sources) and named it after his mother.

It was an important city in an early short-lived kingdom known as Mauretania.
