Hyria (mythology)
In Greek mythology, Hyria or Hyrie, also called Thyria or Thyrie, was the daughter of Amphinomus[1] and mother, by Apollo, of Cycnus.
Mythology
Hyrie grieved much for her son's death, not knowing he had been transformed into a swan; so she melted away in tears or, as others say, threw herself into a lake and was herself turned into a swan.[2]
