MOPSUS

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 813 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOL-MOS
MOPSUS , in
Greek
  legend, the name of two seers. (r) Son of Ampyx (or Ampycus) and the nymph Chloris, a Lapith of Oechalia in Thessaly. He took
part
  in the Calydonian boar hunt and accompanied the
Argonauts
  as their prophet. He died from the bite of a serpent which sprang from the blood of the
Gorgon
  Medusa. He is represented on the chest of Cypselus as
boxing
  with Admetus. He was afterwards worshipped as a hero and an oracle was consecrated to him. (2) Son of Rhacius (or Apollo) and Manto, daughter of Teiresias. The rival seer Calchas is said to have died of chagrin because the predictions of Mopsus were fulfilled, while his own proved incorrect. Together with another seer, Amphilochus, Mopsus founded Mallus in Cilicia, after the return from Troy; and in a quarrel for its possession both lost their lives. According to Pausanias (vii. 3, 2) Mopsus expelled the native inhabitants of
Caria
 , and built the town of
Colophon
 . Mopsus was worshipped as a god by the Cilicians, and had two famous oracles at
Colophon
  and Mallus. His name survives in the town of Mopsuestia (Mby'ou 'Ecria) and the
spring
  of Mopsucrene. Mopsus appears to be the incarnation of Apollo of Claros.
