Scamandrodice (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Scamandrodice (Ancient Greek: Σκαμανδροδίκη, romanized: Skamandrodíkē, lit.

'justice of the Scamander') was the mother of King Cycnus of Colonae by the sea-god Poseidon.

She abandoned her son on the seashore but he was rescued by fishermen who named him Cycnus "swan" because they saw a swan flying over him.

[1] In some accounts, the mother of Cycnus was given as Harpale[2] or Calyce, daughter of Hecaton[3] or lastly, an unknown Nereid.
