In Greek mythology, Queen Rhodope of Thrace was the wife of Haemus. Haemus was vain and haughty and compared himself and Rhodope to Zeus and Hera, who were offended and changed the couple into mountains (Mt. Balkan and Mt. Despoto, respectively).
The Rhodope mountains are in Greece and Bulgaria.
166 Rhodope is an asteroid.
