In Greek mythology, Themiste (Ancient Greek: Θεμίστη, romanized: Themístē) or Themis was a Trojan princess and daughter of King Ilus II of Troad[1] and possibly, Eurydice or Leucippe.[2] She was the (half) sister of Laomedon, Tithonius and Telecleia.[3] Themiste was married off by Ilus to her cousin King Capys, son of Assaracus and Hieromneme, and became the queen of Dardania. With him she became the mother of Anchises and possibly, Acoetes.[4] The former son would later become the father of the famous Aeneas while the later one, became the father of the priest Laocoon.
