Aesepus
In Greek mythology, Aesepus (Αἴσηπος) may refer to:
- A son of Oceanus and Tethys,[1] the divine personification of the river and nearby town of Aesepus[2][3] (today known as Gönen in Turkey), grandfather of the other Aesepus through his daughter Abarbarea. His other daughter Phrygia was the eponym of the country Phrygia.[4]
- The son of the naiad Abarbarea (daughter of the above Aesepus) and Bucolion. His twin brother was Pedasus; the pair appears briefly in the Iliad, Book VI.[5] Both men fought in the Trojan War and were killed by Euryalus, the son of Mecisteus.
