From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Greek mythology, Aesepus (Ancient Greek: Αἴσηπος) may refer to:
- Aesepus, one of the river-god sons of the Titans Oceanus and his sister-wife Tethys.[1] He was the divine personification of the river and nearby town of Aesepus[2] (today known as Gönen in Turkey). Aesepus was the grandfather of the other Aesepus through his daughter Abarbarea. His other daughter Phrygia was the eponym of the country Phrygia.[3]
- Aesepus, the son of the naiad Abarbarea (daughter of the above Aesepus) and Bucolion. His twin brother was Pedasus; the pair appears briefly in the Iliad, Book VI.[4] Both men fought in the Trojan War and were killed by Euryalus, the son of Mecisteus.
