Amphissus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, Amphissus was the product of Apollo's rape of Dryope. He eventually built a temple to his father in the city he founded, Aphissa.

Apollo found Dyrope tending her sheep on a mountainside. He hid behind a tree and watched her. He disgused himself into a turtle in order for her to like him. She claimed the turtle as hers. When she fell asleep Apollo raped her. She woke up only to be found in the arms of a god. This is how she came with child, Amphissus.
