Hyperochus

In Greek mythology, the name Hyperochus (Ancient Greek: Ὑπέροχος) may refer to:

• Hyperochus, a son of Priam.[1]
• Hyperochus, possibly the father of Oenomaus by Sterope.[2]
• Hyperochus, a descendant of Magnes, son of Haemon, father of Tenthredon and thus grandfather of Prothous.[3]
• Hyperochus, a Hyperborean whose ghost, alongside those of Pyrrhus (Neoptolemus) and a fellow Hyperborean Amadocus (or Laodocus), and possibly that of Phylacus, were believed to have terrorized the Gaul invaders during the historical battle at Delphi.[4]

Hypeirochus (Ὑπείροχος) is a variant of the same name which refers to:

• Hypeirochus, a defender of Troy killed by Odysseus;[5] may or may not be the same as the son of Priam.
• Hypeirochus, father of Itymoneus; the latter was killed by Nestor in the war between the Pylians and the Eleans.[6]
