In Greek mythology Ctesylla (Κτήσυλλα) was a maiden of Ioulis in Ceos daughter of Alcidamas. During the Pythian festival an Athenian named Hermochares saw Ctesylla dancing in front of the altar of Apollo and fell in love with her. He threw an apple at her feet on which the text of an oath by Artemis’ name was carved; Ctesylla picked it up and read the text aloud which automatically obliged her to marry Hermochares.
