释义 |
Tychon or Tykhon (Τυχων, Tykhôn = "producer") is the name of two minor deities in Greek mythology. One was a daemon of fertility associated with Phales, Priapus and his mother Aphrodite.[1] He and his companions Orthanês and Konisalos were associated with Dionysos or with the Hermai (phallic statues of Hermes).[2] Although nowhere stated, his father was likely one of these two gods, who were half-siblings, sons of Zeus. Another Tychon, a god of chance or accident,[1] is mentioned by the geographer Strabo, who stated that “Priapos... resembles the Attic deities Orthannes, Konisalos (Conisalus), Tykhon (Tychon), and others like them.”[3] He was worshipped at Athens. The only known depiction of Tychon is now in Hatay Archaeology Museum, Turkey. References1. ^1 Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, Tychon 2. ^Tykhôn and Orthanes.
