Hyperes
In Greek mythology, the name Hyperes (Ancient Greek: Ὑπέρης, gen. Ὑπέρητος) may refer to:
- Hyperes, a son of Lycaon and the eponym of Hyperesia.[1]
- Hyperes, a son of Poseidon and the Pleiad Alcyone, and brother of Anthas. The brothers reigned over what later became Troezen and were founders of the cities Hyperea and Anthea respectively.[2] Two brands of Troezenian wine, Anthedonias and Hypereias, were believed to have been named after certain "Anthus and Hyperus", who apparently are the same figures.[3] See also Hyperenor.
- Hyperes, son of Melas and Eurycleia. He lived by a spring which was named Hypereia after him.[4]
