Hyperes, a Boeotian son of Poseidon and the PleiadAlcyone, and brother of Anthas. He was the father of Arethusa,[2] mother of Abas by Poseidon. Hyperes and his brother Anthas reigned over what later became Troezen and were founders of the cities Hyperea and Anthea respectively.[3] Two brands of Troezenian wine, Anthedonias and Hypereias, were believed to have been named after certain "Anthus and Hyperus", who apparently are the same figures.[4] See also Hyperenor.
Hyperes, another Boeotian as son of Melas and Eurycleia. He lived by a spring which was named Hypereia after him.[5]
