Hy'peres
(
Ὑπέρης).
1. A son of Poseidon and Alcyone, and king of Troezene, from whom the town of Hypereia derived its name. (
Paus. 2.30. 7.)
The island of Calauria, off the coast of Troezene, was likewise believed to have received from him the name of Hypereia (Plut.
Quaest. Gr. 19). Stephanus Byzantinus (
s.v. Ὑπερησία) and Eustathius (
ad Horn. pp. 291, 332) call him a son of Lycaon.
