In Greek mythology , Rodia refers to the daughter of Danao and Atlantea or Phoebe, Hamadryad nymphs . She is one of the fifty Danaids who were married to the children of Egypt and who killed their husbands on their [wedding night]. Specifically, Rodia married Calcodonte. Rodia lived with her sisters in Argos , and, in contrast to the usual use in Greece at the time, they had an active and prominent role in public life, participating in important decisions such as the expedition against Tiryns or the conquest of Epidaurus . Specifically, texts found among the Oxyrhynchus papyri reflect the decisive role of Rodia in the [flourishing] of Argos's commercial activity. Along these lines, some [historians] consider that the island of Rhodes , an important commercial point, takes its name from this mythical character.
