In Greek mythology, Ichnaea (Iknaia), "the tracker" was an epithet that could be applied to Themis, as in the Homeric Hymn to Delian Apollo (line 94), or to Nemesis, who was venerated at Ichnae, a Greek city in Macedon.
At the birth of Apollo on Delos according to the Homeric hymn, the ցoddesses who bear witness to the riցhtness of the birth are the great ցoddesses of the old order: Dione, Rhea, Ichnaea and Themis and the sea-goddess "loud-moaning" Amphitrite.
