A daughter of the river Asopus and mother of Cychreus, who gave her name to the island her son first ruled and named.1
Apollodorus names Salamis a daughter of the river Asopus, who with Poseidon became the mother of Cychreus; Cychreus in turn became king of the island that bore her name.2
After Telamon had slain his brother Phocus and gone into exile, he came to Salamis, to the court of Cychreus, son of Poseidon and of Salamis the daughter of Asopus. Cychreus had won the kingdom by killing a snake that ravaged the island, and, dying childless, he bequeathed it to Telamon.3
Pausanias records that the island lying opposite Eleusis took its name from her: the first to call it Salamis was Cychreus, who named it after his mother Salamis, the daughter of Asopus.4
