According to myths, Apollo loved Amphissa. There has been some speculation that the city/region of Amphissa may have been named for her in some distant past. However, if you look at Wikipedia, Britannica, or Google "Amfissa", you would have to do some serious digging to even find mention of her.If someone uses as their nickname the city name Corona or Sedona or Atlanta? Or Fedora (a hat)? What about Minnesota, Alabama, Louisiana, Arizona, Georgia? Do you automatially assume the person is female?
Then again, perhaps I am one of the Women of Amphissa, worshipping at the Temple of Dionysus, depicted in this painting by Sir Lawrence Alma Tadema.
