In Greek mythology, Hypso, from Pellene in Achaea, was the mother of the Argonauts Amphion and Asterius (Deucalion[1]) by Hyperasius, son of Pelles.[2] In some sources, the father of these men were Hippasus.[3] Hypso gave birth to her sons at one birth and she could not tell one apart from the other because of their likeness.[1] This suggests that they were identical twins.
