Eusorus
In Greek mythology, Eusorus (Ancient Greek: Εύσωρος, romanized: Eusoros, lit. 'having good heaps', 'abundant' or 'richly piled'[1]), also Eussorus, was the father of Acamas,[2][3] Aenete[4][5] and in some accounts, of Cyzicus.[6]
Mythology
[edit]Eusorus only appeared in various stories as the father of certain figures otherwise he has no myth of his own:
Apollonius' account
[edit]Hyginus' account
[edit]Orphic Argonautica
[edit]- "Cyzicus, the son of Aeneus who ruled over all the Doliones, came up and took a place among the heroes. He had been born to a most noble woman, Aenete, daughter of Eusorus."[5]
Apollodorus' account
[edit]Notes
[edit]- ↑ The name is a compound derived from two ancient Greek elements Eu- (Εὖ), a common prefix meaning "good," "well," or "right" and Sōros (Σωρός), a noun meaning "heap," "pile," or "mound" (often used in antiquity to describe a stack of grain, wealth, or agricultural bounty).
