text: # Cydippe
  
  The name Cydippe (Ancient Greek: Κυδίππη Kudíppē) is attributed to four individuals in Greek mythology.
  
  * Cydippe, one of the 50 Nereids, sea-nymph daughters of the 'Old Man of the Sea' Nereus and the Oceanid Doris. She was in the train of Cyrene along with her sisters.
  * Cydippe, also called Crybia or Lysippe, the daughter of the nymph Hegetoria and Ochimus, king of Rhodes. She married Ochimus' brother, Cercaphus, who inherited the island. According to an alternate version, Ochimus engaged Cydippe to Ocridion but Cercaphus loved her and kidnapped her. He did not return until Ochimus was old. Cydippe was by Cercaphus the mother of Cameirus, Ialysus, and Lindes. Each of them founded a town in Rhodes and named it after himself.
  * Cydippe, mother of Cleobis and Biton.
  * Cydippe, an Athenian girl who was obliged to marry Acontius.
