Cydippe
The name Cydippe (Ancient Greek: Κυδίππη, Kudíppē) is attributed to four individuals in Greek mythology.
- Cydippe, mother of Cleobis and Biton.[1]
- Cydippe, also called Crybia or Lysippe,[2] the daughter of the nymph Hegetoria and Ochimus, king of Rhodes. She married Ochimus' brother, Cercaphus, who inherited the island.[3] According to an alternate version, Ochimus engaged Cydippe to Ocridion but Cercaphus loved her and kidnapped her. He did not return until Ochimus was old.[4]
- Cydippe, one of the Nereids, daughters of Nereus and Doris.[5][6]
- Cydippe, an Athenian girl who was obliged to marry Acontius.[7][8]
