- Not to be confused with Stilbo, one of the Oceanids.
Stilbe in
Greek mythology was a
nymph, daughter of the river god
Peneus and the
Naiad Creusa. She bore
Apollo twin sons, Centaurus, ancestor of the
Centaurs, and
Lapithus, ancestor of the
Lapiths. In another version of the myth, Centaurus was instead the son of
Ixion and
Nephele. Aineus, father of
Cyzicus, was also said to have been a son of Apollo and Stilbe. By
Cychreus she became mother of the nymph
Chariclo, wife of
Chiron.
