In Greek mythology, Androthoe (Ancient Greek: Ἀνδροθόη) was the daughter of Pericastor and wife of Peristhenes, son of Damastor. By the latter she became the mother of the fisherman Dictys and Polydectes, king of Seriphos.[1] Otherwise, these two sons were called the children of Magnes and an unnamed naiad[2][3] or of Poseidon and Cerebia.[4]
