[3] The remaining two who had no hand in the murder, Cercaphus and Ochimus, stayed at the island of Rhodes and made their homes in the territory of Ialysus, where they founded the city of Achaea.
Cercaphus married his niece Cydippe (also known as Cyrbia or Lysippe[4]), daughter of Ochimus and Hegetoria, and subsequently inherited the island.

During their lifetime there came a great devastating deluge, in which their mother Cydippe was buried beneath the flood and laid waste.
