Hegetoria

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, Hegetoria (Ancient Greek: Ἡγητορίαν) was a local nymph at Rhodes who married Ochimus. They had a daughter, Cydippe (named later as Cyrbia), who married Ochimus's brother, Cercaphus, successor to his brother's throne.[1]

According to an alternate version, Ochimus engaged Cydippe to Ocridion but Cercaphus loved her and kidnapped her. The latter did not return until Ochimus was old.[2]
