Erysichthon of Thessaly in the context of "Polyxo"

In Greek mythology, Triopas (/ˈtraɪəpəs/) or Triops (/ˈtraɪ.əps, ˈtraɪˌɒps/; Ancient Greek: Τρίωψ, gen.: Τρίοπος) was the name of several characters whose relations are unclear.

• Triopas, king of Argos and son of Phorbas. His daughter was Messene.
• Triopas, king of Thessaly, and son of Poseidon and princess Canace, daughter of King Aeolus of Aeolia. He was the brother of Aloeus, Epopeus, Hopleus and Nireus. Triopas was the husband of Myrmidon's daughter Hiscilla, by whom he became the father of Iphimedeia, Phorbas and Erysichthon. He destroyed a temple of Demeter in order to obtain materials for roofing his own house, and was punished by insatiable hunger as well as being plagued by a snake which inflicted illness on him. Eventually Demeter placed him and the snake among the stars as the constellation Ophiuchus to remind others of his crime and punishment. A city in Caria was named Triopion after him.
• Triopas, one of the Heliadae, sons of Helios and Rhodos and grandson of Poseidon. Triopas, along with his brothers, Macar, Actis and Candalus, were jealous of a fifth brother, Tenages's, skill at science, and killed him. When their crime was discovered, Triopas escaped to Caria and seized a promontory which received his name (the Triopian Promontory). Later, he founded the city of Knidos. There was a statue of him and his horse at Delphi, an offering by the people of Knidos.

The name's popular etymology is "he who has three eyes" (from τρι- "three" + -ωπ- "see") but the ending -ωψ, -οπος suggests a Pre-Greek origin.

In Greek mythology, Pisidice (/paɪˈsɪdɪsiː/, Ancient Greek: Πεισιδίκη, Peisidíkē, "to convince or persuade") or Peisidice was one of the following individuals:

• Pisidice, a Thessalian princess as the daughter of King Aeolus of Aeolia and Enarete, daughter of Deimachus. She was the sister of Salmoneus, Athamas, Sisyphus, Cretheus, Perieres, Deioneus, Magnes, Calyce, Canace, Alcyone and Perimede. Peisidice was the mother of Antiphus and Actor by Myrmidon. She may also be the mother of Myrmidon's other children: Erysichthon, Dioplethes, Hiscilla and Eupolemeia.
• Pisidice, an alternate name for Demonice, mother of Thestius by Ares.
• Pisidice, a princess of Iolcus as the daughter of Pelias, who, together with her sisters, killed their father, as Medea tricked them into believing this was needed to rejuvenate him.
• Pisidice, a Pylian princess and daughter of King Nestor and Anaxibia or Eurydice. She was sister to Polycaste, Perseus, Stratichus, Aretus, Echephron, Pisistratus, Antilochus and Thrasymedes. She was probably the Pisidice who became the mother of Borus by Periclymenus, brother of Nestor and consequently her uncle.
• Pisidice of Methymna, a princess of Methymna, who fell in love with Achilles as he besieged her city, and promised to put Methymna into his possession if he would marry her. He agreed to her terms but, as soon as the city was his, he ordered that she be stoned to death as a traitor.
• Pisidice, a queen of Haliartus as wife of King Copreus. She was of royal descent as well as the daughter of King Leucon of Boeotia. By her husband, Pisidice became the mother of Hippoclus and Argynnos, who was loved by Agamemnon and drowned in River Cephissus.

In Greek mythology, a Hamadryad or Hamadryas (/hæməˈdraɪ.æd/; Ancient Greek: ἁμαδρυάς, pl: ἁμαδρυάδες, romanized: Hamadryás, pl: Hamadryádes) is a tree nymph. They are born bonded to a certain tree on which their life depends. Some maintain that a Hamadryad is the tree itself, with a normal dryad being simply the indwelling entity, or spirit, of the tree. If the tree should die, the Hamadryad associated with it would die as well. For this reason, both dryads and the other gods would punish mortals (such as King Erysichthon) who harmed trees.

In Greek mythology, Hiscilla (Ἴσχυλλα, Ischylla) was a Phthian princess as daughter of King Myrmidon and possibly Peisidice (daughter of Aeolus), thus sister of Antiphus, Actor, Dioplethes, Eupolemeia and probably Erysichthon who was otherwise known as her son by Triopas. By the latter, she also became the mother of Phorbas and Iphimedeia.

In Greek mythology, Dioplethes was a Phthian prince as son of King Myrmidon and possibly Peisidice (daughter of Aeolus), thus brother to Antiphus, Actor, Erysichthon, Eupolemeia and Hiscilla. In some accounts, he was the father of Perieres, King of Messenia.

In Greek mythology, Eupolemeia (Ancient Greek: Εὐπολέμεια) was a Phthian princess as daughter of King Myrmidon and possibly Peisidice (daughter of Aeolus), thus sister to Antiphus, Actor, Erysichthon, Dioplethes and Hiscilla. Eupolemeia consorted with Hermes and by him, she bore Aethalides near the streams of Amphrysus.

Nicippe, also Nikippe (Ancient Greek: Νικίππη, romanized: Nikíppē, lit. 'victorious mare') is a name attributed to several women in Greek mythology.

• Nicippe, a priestess of Demeter in Dotion, Thessaly. Demeter assumes her shape to try to stop Erysichthon from cutting down the sacred grove.
• Nicippe, a Pisatian princess as daughter of King Pelops and Hippodamia, daughter of the earlier king Oenomaus. She became queen of Mycenae after marrying King Sthenelus by whom she bore Alcyone, Medusa (Astymedusa) and Eurystheus. Nicippe was also known as Antibia or Amphibia (Ἀμφιβίαν) or Archippe.
• Nicippe, a Thespian princess as one of the 50 daughters of King Thespius and Megamede or by one of his many wives. When Heracles hunted and ultimately slayed the Cithaeronian lion, Nicippe with her other sisters, except for one, all laid with the hero in a night, a week or for 50 days as what their father strongly desired it to be. Nicippe bore Heracles a son, Antimachus.
