Hegetoria
In Greek mythology, Hegetoria (Ancient Greek: Ἡγητορίαν) was a local nymph at Rhodes who married Ochimus. They had a daughter, Cydippe (named later as Cyrbia), who married Ochimus's brother, Cercaphus, successor to his brother's throne.<ref>Diodorus Siculus, 5.57.7</ref>
According to an alternate version, Ochimus engaged Cydippe to Ocridion but Cercaphus loved her and kidnapped her. The latter did not return until Ochimus was old.<ref>Plutarch, Quaestiones Graecae 27</ref>
