In Greek mythology, Meta (Ancient Greek: Μήταν "beyond") was the daughter of Hoples who became the first wife of Aegeus, king of Athens.^[1]^[2] She bore no child to the king thus he married another woman named Chalciope, daughter of Rhexenor or Chalcodon, who also cannot give him heir to the throne. Eventually, the hero Theseus became Aegeus' first born by Aethra after Athenian ruler was made drunk by Pittheus, the maiden's daughter. In other traditions Meta was called Mellite.^[3]
