In Greek and Roman mythology, Meliboea is a young woman from Ephesus who wished to marry her lover Alexis against her parents' wishes. The couple was only able to be united through divine intervention. Alexis and Meliboea's story is recorded in the works of Servius, a Latin grammarian of the fifth century. The myth is an aetiological story explaining the reason behind the goddess Aphrodite as worshipped under the epithets Automate and Epidaetia in Ephesus.
