Cebren

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, Cebren (Ancient Greek: Κεβρην) was a Greek river-god,[citation needed] whose river was located near Troy. He was the son of Oceanus and Tethys and he was the father of Asterope[1] and Hesperia,[2] who are sometimes considered to be the same person, and Oenone.[3][4] The city Cebrene (also spelled Kebrene or Kevrin) was named for Cebren.
