From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stilbe (/ˈstɪlbiː/; Ancient Greek: Στίλβη, Stílbē, "glittering", "gleaming"[1]) in Greek mythology may refer to the following personages:
- Stilbe, mother of Callisto by Ceteus.[2][3]
- Stilbe, a nymph, daughter of the river god Peneus and the Naiad Creusa. She bore Apollo twin sons, Centaurus, ancestor of the Centaurs, and Lapithus, ancestor of the Lapiths.[4] In another version of the myth, Centaurus was instead the son of Ixion and Nephele.[5] Aineus, father of Cyzicus, was also said to have been a son of Apollo and Stilbe.[6] By Cychreus, she became mother of the nymph Chariclo, wife of Chiron.[7]
