Cydippe

The name Cydippe (Ancient Greek: Κυδίππη, Kudíppē) is attributed to four individuals in Greek mythology.

  • Cydippe or Cyrbia was the daughter of Hegetoria and Ochimus. She married Ochimus' brother, Cercaphus, who inherited the island. 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.[2][3]
  • Cydippe was the name of one of the Nereids, daughters of Nereus and Doris.[4][5]
  • Cydippe was an Athenian girl who was obliged to marry Acontius.[6][7]
