Sicyon

Sicyon was situated on the west coast of the Gulf of Corinth, a city of Sicyonia.

The only story of note was during the reign of Epopeus, when he married the girl Antiope, mother of Amphion and Zethus. Her father Nycteus (regent of Thebes) went to war against Sicyon and demanded his daughter's return. Epopeus and Nycteus died in the fighting. The Sicyonians decided to hand over Antiope to her uncle, Lycus.
