Hyria (mythology)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, Hyria (Ancient Greek: Ὑρίη) or Hyrie, also called Thyria or Thyrie (Ancient Greek: Θυρίη, romanizedThurie)[a] was the Aetolian daughter of Amphinomus[1] and mother, by Apollo, of Cycnus.

Mythology

[edit]

Hyrie grieved much for her son's death, not knowing he had been transformed into a swan; so she melted away in tears or, as others say, threw herself into a lake (Hyria) and was herself turned into a swan.[2]
