Simoeis (
Simóeis) was a river of the
Trojan plain and the name of its god in
Greek mythology. Like other river-gods, Simoeis was the son of
Oceanus and
Tethys. Simoeis had two daughters who were married into the Trojan royal family. One daughter,
Astyoche, was married to
Erichthonius, and the other daughter,
Hieromneme was the wife of
Assaracus. When the gods took sides in the
Trojan War, Simoeis supported the Trojans.
Scamander, another river who also supported the Trojans, called upon Simoeis for help in his battle against
Achilles:
Come to my aid with all speed, fill your streams with water from your springs, stir up all your torrents, stand high in a great wave, and rouse a mighty roar of timbers and rocks, so we can stop this savage man who in his strength is raging like the gods.
