Lycoreus

• a son of Apollo, Hyg. Fab. 161.

(Λυκωρεύς).

1. A surname of Apollo, perhaps in the same sense as Lyceius; but he is usually so called with reference to Lycoreia, on Mount Parnassus. (Apollon. 4.1490; Callim. Hymn. in Apoll. 19; Orph. Hymn. 33. 1.)

2. A son of Apollo and the nymph Corycia, from whom Lycoreia, in the neighbourhood of Delphi, was believed to have derived its name. (Paus. 10.6.2.)

There are two other mythical personages of this name. (Apollon. 2.51; Serv. ad Aen. 2.761.) [L.S]
