Cleochus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Greek mythology, Cleochus (Ancient Greek: Κλέοχος) was the name shared by two individuals:
- Cleochus, the Cretan father of the nymph Aria, mother of Miletus by Apollo.[1] When Areia gave birth to her son she hid him in a bed of smilax, Cleochus found the child there and named him Miletus after the plant.[2] Clement of Alexandria quotes Leandrios saying that Cleochus was buried within the temple enclosure of Didyma in Miletus.[3]
- Cleochos, one of the followers of Dionysus in the Indian War against the Indian king Deriades.[4]
