In Greek mythology, Hippo (Ancient Greek: Ἱππώ or Ἵππωτος Hippô means 'horse'[1] or 'like a swift current'[2]) may refer to the following personages:
- Hippo, one of the 3,000 Oceanids, water-nymph daughters of the Titans Oceanus and his sister-spouse Tethys.[2][3]
- Hippo, a Thespian princess as one of the 50 daughters of King Thespius and Megamede[4] or by one of his many wives.[5] When Heracles hunted and ultimately slayed the Cithaeronian lion,[6] Hippo with her other sisters, except for one,[7] all laid with the hero in a night,[8] a week[9] or for 50 days[10] as what their father strongly desired it to be.[11] Hippo bore Heracles a son, Capylus.[12]
