Virgil Solis in the context of "Python (mythology)"

In Greek mythology, Cinyras (/ˈsɪnɪrəs/; Ancient Greek: Κινύρας – Kinyras) was a famous hero and king of Cyprus. Accounts vary significantly as to his genealogy and provide a variety of stories concerning him; in many sources he is associated with the cult of Aphrodite on Cyprus, and Adonis, a consort of Aphrodite, is mentioned as his son. Some scholars have proposed a connection with the minor Ugaritic deity Kinnaru, the god of the lyre. The city Cinyreia on Cyprus was believed to have taken its name from Cinyras. According to Strabo, he had previously ruled in the city of Byblos in Phoenicia.

In Greek mythology, Pyrrha (/ˈpɪrə/; Ancient Greek: Πύῤῥα, romanized: Pýrrha) was the daughter of Epimetheus and Pandora and wife of Deucalion of whom she had three sons, Hellen, Amphictyon, Orestheus; and three daughters Protogeneia, Pandora and Thyia. According to some accounts, Hellen or Helmetheus was credited to be born from Pyrrha's union with Zeus.

Philomela (/ˌfɪləˈmiːlə/) or Philomel (/ˈfɪləˌmɛl/; Ancient Greek: Φιλομήλη, Philomḗlē; Φιλομήλα Philomḗla) is a minor figure in Greek mythology who is frequently invoked as a direct and figurative symbol in literary and artistic works in the Western canon.

In Greek mythology, Anaxarete (Ancient Greek: Ἀναξαρέτη means 'excellent princess') was a princess from Cyprus, who is said to have been descended from Teucer. She attracts the love of a young man named Iphis, who she scornfully rebuffs, pushing him to the point of killing himself upon her doorstep. After his death, she remains unmoved, and Aphrodite transforms her into a stone statue.
