Aesacus
Aesacus was a
Greek mythological figure, son of
Priamus and the nymph
Alexirrhoe (or alternatively
Arisbe), who fell in love with
Hesperia. She fled from him but was bitten by a snake and died. Aesacus, grieving, attempted to drown himself but was changed into a bird by
Tethys.
Ovid XI, 749-759.
