Another and different legend is current that Apollo had a son Lycorus by a nymph, Corycia, and that after Lycorus was named the city Lycoreia, and after the nymph the Corycian cave. It is also said that Celaeno was daughter to Hyamus, son of Lycorus, and that Delphus, from whom comes the present name of the city, was a son of Celaeno, daughter of Hyamus, by Apollo.(Paus. 10.6.3)
Νύμφη, μητέρα του Λυκωρέα, που έδωσε το όνομά της στο Κωρύκιον Αντρον.
Corycia (Korukia). A nymph, who became by Apollo the mother of Lycorus, or Lycoreus, and from whom the Corycian cave on Mount Parnassus was believed to have derived its name. The Muses are sometimes called by the poets Corycides Nymphae
Corycides. A name applied to the nymphs who were supposed to inhabit the Corycian cave on Mount Parnassus. They were the daughters of the river-god Plistus (Ovid, Met.i. 320; Apoll. Rh. ii. 711). The same name is also given to the Muses.
The people of Asine originally adjoined the Lycoritae on Parnassus.
Their name, which they maintained after their arrival in Peloponnese, was Dryopes,
from their founder. Two generations after Dryops, in the reign of Phylas, the
Dryopes were conquered in battle by Heracles and brought as an offering to Apollo
at Delphi. When brought to Peloponnese according to the god's instructions to
Heracles, they first occupied Asine by Hermion. They were driven thence by the
Argives and lived in Messenia. This was the gift of the Lacedaemonians, and when
in the course of time the Messenians were restored, they were not driven from
their city by the Messenians. But the people of Asine give this account of themselves.
They admit that they were conquered by Heracles and their city in Parnassus captured,
but they deny that they were made prisoners and brought to Apollo. But when the
walls were carried by Heracles, they deserted the town and fled to the heights
of Parnassus, and afterwards crossed the sea to Peloponnese and appealed to Eurystheus.
Being at feud with Heracles, he gave them Asine in the Argolid. The men of Asine
are the only members of the race of the Dryopes to pride themselves on the name
to this day.
Lycoreus, a surname of Apollo, perhaps in the same sense as Lyceius; but he is usually so called with reference to Lycoreia, on Mount Parnassus. (Apollon. Rhod. iv. 1490; Callim. Hymn. in Apoll. 19; Orph. Hymn. 33. 1.)
