The Birth of Adonis, 1690 Myrrha (: Μύρρα), also known as Smyrna (Greek: Σμύρνα), is the mother of in. She was transformed into a myrrh tree after having had intercourse with her father and gave birth to Adonis as a tree.

Although the tale of Adonis has roots, it is uncertain from where the myth of Myrrha emerged, though it was likely from. The myth details the incestuous relationship between Myrrha and her father,. Myrrha falls in love with her father and tricks him into sexual intercourse.
