In Greek mythology, Zeuxippus (Ancient Greek: Ζεύξιππος) was the successor of Phaestus as king of Sicyon and in turn succeeded by Hippolytus, grandson of the former ruler. Family Zeuxippus was the son of Apollo and the nymph Syllis (or Hyllis, daughter of Hyllus and Iole). Mythology Zeuxippus only appeared in the account of Pausanias' Description of Greece: After Phaestus in obedience to an oracle migrated to Crete, the next king is said to have been Zeuxippus, the son of Apollo and the nymph Syllis. On the death of Zeuxippus, Agamemnon led an army against Sicyon and king Hippolytus, the son of Rhopalus, the son of Phaestus.
