Zeuxippus of Sicyon

In Greek mythology, Zeuxippus was the successor of Phaestus as king of Sicyon and in turn succeeded by Hippolytus, grandson of the former ruler.

Family

Zeuxippus was the son of Apollo and the nymph Syllis.

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.
