Zeuxippus of Sicyon

In Greek mythology, Zeuxippus (Ancient Greek: Ζεύξιππος) was the son of Apollo and the nymph Syllis (or Hyllis, daughter of Hyllus and Iole[1]). He succeeded Phaestus as the king of Sicyon, and was in turn succeeded by Hippolytus.[2][3][4]

Mythology

Zeuxippus only appeared in the account of Pausanias' Description of Greece:

"After Phaestus in obedience to an oracle migrated to Crete, the next king is said to have been Zeuxippus, the son of Apollo and the nymph Syllis. On the death of Zeuxippus, Agamemnon led an army against Sicyon and king Hippolytus, the son of Rhopalus, the son of Phaestus."

gollark: How did *that* happen?
gollark: Pythagoras disapproves.
gollark: Both already exist but are sort of meh, but the combination of more advanced versions might work.
gollark: One thing which might take off is some sort of portable phone dock with a monitor/keyboard/mouse and some sort of "cloud gaming" thing.
gollark: Plus since you'll get out your phone for 5 minutes during the day and probably not a few hours of serious gaming, that forces games to change too.
