Corycia's father was the local river-god
Kephisos or
Pleistos of northern
Boeotia. With
Apollo, she became the mother of
Lycorus (Lyrcorus) who gave his name to the city
Lycoreia.
Mythology
Corycia was one of the
Thriaenymphs of the springs of the
Corycian Cave, which was named after her. She was related to the nymph
Castalia who presided over the sacred springs at
Delphi. Corycia was closely identified with
Kleodora and
Melaina.[1]
The plural Coryciae was applied to the daughters of Pleistos.[2]
