Ceyx of Trachis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Greek mythology, Ceyx (/ˈsiːɪks/; Ancient Greek: Κήυξ, romanized: Kḗux, lit. 'gannet') was a king of Trachis in Thessaly.[1]
Family
In some accounts, Ceyx was Amphitryon's nephew, with Heracles building Trachis for him.[2] He was the father of Hippasus, alternatively of Hylas[3] and lastly, of Themistonoe, who married King Cycnus.[4] Muller supposes that the marriage of Ceyx and his connection with Heracles were the subjects of ancient poems.[5]
