Cytus (mythology) 
Summary
In Greek mythology, Cytus (Ancient Greek: Κύτον Kytos) was the son of the Rhodian nymph Himalia and Zeus. He was the brother of Cronius and Spartaeus.[1]
Mythology edit
When Cytus and his brothers were still young men, Aphrodite travelling from Cythera to Cyprus, dropped near Rhodes but was prevented by the sons of Poseidon and Halia. Thus, the goddess cursed them with insanity.[2]
