54-456: A Naiad . Perhaps misreading Pindar, Asclepiades ("presumably the mythographer" Asclepiades of Tragilus ) gives her father as Helios. Rhode together with Helios or Poseidon were the ancestors of Ialysus , Cameirus and Lindus , eponyms of the cities of Rhodes. The poet Pindar tells the story, that when the gods drew lots for the places of the earth, Helios being absent received nothing. He complained to Zeus about it, who offered to make

81-485: A group sculpture in the sanctuary of Hippodamia at Olympia donated by the Phliasians. It included Nemea, Zeus seizing Aegina, Harpina , Corcyra, Thebe, and Asopus himself. It seems the Phliasians were insistent that Thebe belonged to their Asopus. According to Pherecydes , Asopus also fathered Philyra who became the mother of Hypseus by Peneus . In some sources, Pronoe who was the mother of Phocus by Poseidon

108-575: A list. Pausanias mentions three supposed daughters of Phliasian Asopus named Corcyra, Aegina, and Thebe according to the Phliasians and notes additionally that the Thebans insist that this Thebe was daughter of the Boeotian Asopus. He mentions no dispute about the others which suggests that in his time the assignment of Aegina to the Phliasian Asopus was generally admitted. Pausanias also describes

135-634: A settler in Phlius and wife of Metope daughter of Ladon , presumably here and elsewhere the Arcadian river Ladon. Pausanias mentions his daughter Nemea , eponym for the region of the same name (possibly the mother of Archemorus in Aeschylus ' lost play Nemea ). Pausanias and Diodorus Siculus also mention a daughter Harpina and state that according to the traditions of the Eleans and Phliasians, Ares lay with her in

189-531: A thunderbolt, whence ever after Asopus is lame and flows very slowly, a feature ascribed to both the Boeotian and Phliasian Asopus. In these tales Asopus discovers the truth about the abduction from Sisyphus , King of Corinth in return for creating a spring on the Corinthian Acropolis . This spring, according to Pausanias was behind the temple of Aphrodite and people said its water was the same as that of

216-406: Is different from Wikidata All article disambiguation pages All disambiguation pages Rhodos Various parents were given for Rhodos. Pindar makes her a daughter of Aphrodite with no father mentioned, although scholia on Pindar add Poseidon as the father; for Herodorus of Heraclea she was the daughter of Aphrodite and Poseidon, while according to Diodorus Siculus she

243-408: Is more than one river named Asopus. Pausanias writes that during the reign of Aras , the first earth-born king of Sicyonian land, Asopus, said to be son of Poseidon by Celusa (this Celusa otherwise unknown but possibly identical to Pero mentioned above), discovered for him the river called Asopus and gave it his name. Diodorus Siculus similarly presents Asopus (here son of Oceanus and Tethys) as

270-492: Is near Boeotia, but Salamis and Aegina are regions that would perhaps associate better with the Phliasian Asopus. Korkyra ( Corfu ) is definitely Corinthian rather than Boeotian. Sinope is surely the colony of Sinope on the Black Sea (founded from Miletus). It is notable that tradition as it comes down to us does not record any children resulting from a union of gods with Thebe, Plataea, Thespia or Tanagra and only Diodorus mentions

297-455: The Boeotian river Asopus and the Phliasian river Asopus are much confounded. They are duplicated a second time as supposed mortal kings who gave their names to the corresponding rivers. Indeed, logically, since the children fathered by gods on various daughters of either Boeotian or Phliasian Asopus were mortal in these tales, then the daughters themselves must have been mortal, and therefore either

324-575: The city of Pisa and they had a son, Oenomaus , who Pausanias says founded the city of Harpina named after her, not far from the river Harpinates. The Bibliotheca refers to Ismene daughter of Asopus who was wife of Argus Panoptes to whom she bore Iasus , the father of Io . We find first in Pindar 's odes the sisters, Aegina and Thebe , here the youngest daughters of Boeotian Asopus by Metope who came from Stymphalia in Arcadia . Both are abducted by

351-456: The division again. Helios refused, for he had seen a new island about to rise from the sea. So Helios, with Zeus ' consent, claimed a new island (Rhodes), which had not yet risen from the sea. And after it rose from the sea he lay with her and produced seven sons. According to another source, it was Helios himself who caused the water overflowing the island to disappear, and after that he named this island "Rhodes" after Rhodos. By Helios, Rhodos

378-509: The god Zeus, one carried to the island of Oenone later to be named Aegina and the other to Dirce 's water to be queen there. Corinna , Pindar's contemporary, in a damaged fragment, mentions nine daughters of Boeotian Asopus: Aegina , Thebe , and Plataea abducted by Zeus; Corcyra , Salamis , and Euboea abducted by Poseidon ; Sinope and Thespia (who has been dealt with above) abducted by Apollo ; and Tanagra abducted by Hermes . Asopus cannot discover what has become of them until

405-633: The magnificent head of Helios , some of them showed the head of Rhodos; additionally, the rose (Greek rhodon ) became the island's symbol. During the Hellenistic period , she was worshipped in Rhodes as the island's tutelary goddess. Asopus Asopus ( / ə ˈ s oʊ p ə s / ; Ancient Greek : Ἀ̄σωπός Āsōpos ) is the name of four different rivers in Greece and one in Turkey . In Greek mythology , it

432-405: The mother of these daughters (often given as Metope daughter of river Ladon ) or their father Asopus must have been mortal, or both of them. The Bibliotheca informs that the river Asopus was a son of Oceanus and Tethys or, according to Acusilaus , of Poseidon by Pero (otherwise unknown to us), or according to yet others of Zeus by Eurynome ; it is uncertain whether he knows there

459-530: The mother, by Helios, of this famous Phaethon, as well as three daughters: Lampetie , Aigle , and Phaethousa . (In the Odyssey , Lampetie and Phaethousa, the shepherds of Helios' cattle and sheep on Thrinacia , are instead the daughters of Helios by Neaera .) When Aphrodite cursed Helios and made him fall in love with a mortal princess named Leucothoe , he is said to have forgotten about Rhodos, among other lovers. While Rhodian coins were known for displaying

486-519: The otherwise unknown sons Phaiax , son of Poseidon by Corcyra, and Syrus sprung from Apollo by Sinope and that this child of Sinope is opposed by a conflicting tradition that Sinope tricked Zeus, Apollo and Halys and remained a virgin. Later texts mostly indicate Zeus' abduction of Aegina, presented as a solitary abduction. Asopus is often clearly the Phliasian Asopus (so indicated by Pherecydes ) but not always so. Asopus chases after Zeus and his daughter until Zeus turns upon him and strikes him with

513-507: The same list of sons, with Macareus (for Macar) and naming the last Heliadae as Phaethon, "the younger, whom the Rhodians call Tenages". The older Phaethon referred to here probably being the famous Phaethon (whose story is told by Ovid ) who drove Helios' chariot. The scholion on Odyssey 17.208 (perhaps drawing on either of the lost tragedies Heliades (Daughters of Helios) by Aeschylus , and Phaethon , by Euripides ), also makes Rhodos

567-457: The seer Acraephen (otherwise unknown) tells him that the gods Eros and Aphrodite persuaded the four gods to come secretly to his house and steal his nine daughters. He advises Asopus to yield to the immortals and cease grieving since he is father-in-law to gods. This hints that perhaps, for Corinna, Asopus himself is not a god. Asopus accepts Acraephen's advice. Of these daughters, Thebe, Plataea, Thespia and Tanagra are properly Boeotian. Euboea

594-526: The small city of Cleonae on the road from Corinth to Argos according to Pausanias), Ornia (possible eponym of the small town of Orneai south of Phlius ), and Asopis . But Asopis may mean Asopian and be an epithet for one of the other known daughters. Ovid in his poem Metamorphoses twice calls Aegina by the name Asopis . Indeed, in his very next section Diodorus discusses Asopus' daughter Harpina who has been discussed above. Apollodorus claims Asopus had twenty daughters but he does not provide

621-617: The spring Peirene , the water in the city flowing from it underground. Diodorus Siculus who, as mentioned, places his Asopus in Phlius, gives him twelve daughters. Diodorus' list omits the Plataea and Boeotia included by Corinna's list of nine daughters. But it introduces Chalcis which was the chief city of Boeotia and may represent Boeotia. To make up the twelve Diodorus' list also adds Peirene (the famous spring in Corinth), Cleone (possible eponym of

648-423: Was a daughter of Asopus. Both Apollodrus and Diodorus also mention two sons of Asopus, the first named Ismenus and the second named Pelagon (by Apollodorus) or Pelasgus (by Diodorus). Nothing else has survived about this Pelagon. Of Ismenus, Diodorus states only that he emigrated to Boeotia and settled near the Boeotian river, which was afterwards named Ismenus from his name. Another son, Hypseus who fought in

675-481: Was also the name of the gods of those rivers. Zeus carried off Aegina , Asopus' daughter, and Sisyphus , who had witnessed the act, told Asopus that he could reveal the identity of the person who had abducted Aegina, but in return Asopus would have to provide a perennial fountain of water at Corinth, Sisyphus' city. Accordingly, Asopus produced a fountain at Corinth, and pursued Zeus, but had to retreat for fear of Zeus' terrible thunderbolt. As mythological entities,

702-468: Was the daughter of Poseidon and Halia , one of the Telchines , the original rulers of Rhodes. According to Apollodorus (referring to her as "Rhode") she was a daughter of Poseidon and Amphitrite , and full sister to Triton . However, for Epimenides , her father was Oceanus , while according to a scholion on Odyssey 17.208 (calling her "Rhode"), her father was the river-god Asopus , thus making her

729-584: Was the mother of the Heliadae , who succeeded the Telchines as rulers of Rhodes. According to Pindar, Rhodos had, by Helios, seven sons. Pindar does not name the sons, but according to Diodorus Siculus , the Heliadae were Ochimus , Cercaphus , Actis , Macar (i.e. Macareus ), Candalus , Triopas , and Tenages . Diodorus Siculus also says that Helios and Rhodos had one daughter, Electryone . A scholion to Pindar gives
