In Greek mythology, Syceus (Ancient Greek: Συκεύς, Sykeus, from συκέα meaning "fig-tree"[1]) was a Titan son of Gaea (Earth) and eponym of the city of Sykea in Cilicia.
[2] Only Athenaeus in his Deipnosophistae mentioned Sykeus' myth with his source being Tryphon's Of Plants (or Names of Plants)[3] and Androtion's Farmers' Handbook:[2] Sykeus, one of the Titans, was pursued by Zeus and taken under the protection of his mother, Earth, and that she caused the plant [the fig] to grow for her son's pleasure.
