Stilbe
Stilbe (/ˈstɪlbiː/; Ancient Greek: Στίλβη Stílbē) in Greek mythology may refer to the following personages:
- Stilbe, a nymph, daughter of the river god Peneus and the Naiad Creusa. She bore Apollo twin sons, Centaurus, ancestor of the Centaurs, and Lapithus, ancestor of the Lapiths.[1][2] In another version of the myth, Centaurus was instead the son of Ixion and Nephele.[3] Aineus, father of Cyzicus, was also said to have been a son of Apollo and Stilbe.[4] By Cychreus she became mother of the nymph Chariclo, wife of Chiron.[5]
- Stilbe, daughter of Eosphoros and a possible mother of Autolycus by Hermes,[6]
