O: head of river-god Strymon R: trident This coin was struck by Serdi tribe in 187-168 BC or later. It is an overstrike on official Macedonian coin and imitates another Macedonian type.

In Greek mythology, Strymon (/stryˈmɔːn/; Ancient Greek: Στρυμών) was a river-god and son of the Titans Oceanus and his sister-wife Tethys. [1] He was a king of Thrace. [2] By the Muses, [3] Euterpe [4] or Calliope [5] or Terpsichore, [6] he became the father of Rhesus. His other sons were Olynthus [7] and Brangas. [2]

Neaera bore Strymon's daughter, Evadne who became the wife of King Argus. [8] He was also the father of Tereine who mothered Thrassa by the god Ares. [9] Another daughter, Rhodope became the mother of Athos by Poseidon. [10]
