 | This article needs more citations. (June 2018) |
In Greek mythology, Amphissus (Ancient Greek: Ἄμφίσσος) was the son of Apollo and Dryope.[1] According to Ovid, he is the son of Andraemon and Dryope. Amphissus eventually built a temple to his father in the city he founded, Amphissa.
Mythology
Apollo found Dryope tending her sheep on a mountainside while she was being accompanied by other dryads. The god hid behind a tree and watched her, and later on, he disguised himself as a turtle in order for him to get closer to her. Dryope claimed the turtle as hers. Then, to scare away the other dryads, Apollo turned into a snake to chased them away and coupled with Dryope. This is how she came with child, Amphissus.[2]
According to Ovid, his mother Dryope picked a lotus for him, which turned out to be a nymph. It caused Dryope to become a lotus tree.
