Hypseus
In
Greek mythology, Hypseus was King of the
Lapiths, married to the
naiad Creusa. They had one daughter,
Cyrene. When a lion attacked her father's sheep, Cyrene wrestled with the lion.
Apollo happened along and immediately fell in love with her and kidnapped her. He took her to North Africa and founded the city of
Cyrene in her name. The region,
Cyrenaica, is also named for her. Together, she and Apollo had one son:
Aristaeus.
