Stilbe

Stilbe (/ˈstɪlb/; Ancient Greek: Στίλβη, Stílbē, "glittering", "gleaming"[1]) in Greek mythology may refer to the following personages:

  • Stilbe, mother of Callisto by Ceteus.[2][3]
  • Stilbe, a nymph, daughter of the river god Peneus and the Naiad Creusa. She bore Apollo twin sons, Centaurus, ancestor of the Centaurs, and Lapithus, ancestor of the Lapiths.[4] In another version of the myth, Centaurus was instead the son of Ixion and Nephele.[5] Aineus, father of Cyzicus, was also said to have been a son of Apollo and Stilbe.[6] By Cychreus, she became mother of the nymph Chariclo, wife of Chiron.[7]
  • Stilbe, daughter of Eosphoros and a possible mother of Autolycus by Hermes.[8]
