Leucippus (son of Thurimachus)

In Greek mythology Leucippus was king of Sicyon. He was the son of Thurimachus, son of Aegyrus, son of Thelxion, son of Apis, son of Telchis, son of Europs, son of Aegialeus (an autochthon).

According to Pausanias' account, Leucippus had only one child, a daughter Calchinia. She bore Poseidon a son, Peratus, who was reared by Leucippus and inherited the kingdom. Peratus' son was Plemnaeus, whose own children would die as soon as they began to cry for the first time, until Demeter visited Plemnaeus and reared his son Orthopolis, which allowed him to survive and become Plemnaeus' successor. Orthopolis was the father of an only daughter Chrysorthe, who had a son Coronus with Apollo.
