Hermes .
In Greek mythology , Hermus or Hermos (Ancient Greek : Ἕρμος) is a name attributed to multiple characters:
Hermus, god of the river Hermus (modern Gediz river) located in the Aegean region of Lydia (modern Turkey ). Like most of the river-gods , he was the son of Oceanus and Tethys .[ 1] Lydian nymphs .[ 2]
Hermus, an Egyptian prince as one of the sons of King Aegyptus . His mother was the naiad Caliadne and thus full brother of Eurylochus , Phantes , Peristhenes , Dryas , Potamon , Cisseus , Lixus , Imbrus , Bromius , Polyctor and Chthonius .[ 3] Eurryroe , daughter of the river-god Nilus ,[ 4] Isaie , daughter of King Agenor of Tyre .[ 5] Lynceus , when they were slain on their wedding night by their wives who obeyed the command of their father King Danaus of Libya . He married the Danaid Cleopatra , daughter of Danaus and the naiad Polyxo .[ 3]
Hermus, a nobleman of Athens and a companion of Theseus . When Theseus founded the city of Pythopolis , he left Hermus there. A place in Pythopolis called the House of Hermes was named after him, incorrectly changing the name to that of a god .[ 6]
