In [[Greek mythology]], '''Galanthis''' or '''Galinthias''' ({{langx|grc|Γαλανθίς/Γαλινθιάς|Galanthís/Galinthiás}}) was the woman who interfered with [[Hera]]'s plan to hinder the birth of [[Heracles]] in favor of [[Eurystheus]], and was changed into a [[weasel]] or [[cat]] as punishment for being so insolent as to deceive the goddesses of birth that were acting on Hera's behalf.
