Real history info
In Greek mythology, King Cercaphus (Ancient Greek: Κέρκαφος) of Rhodes was one of the Heliadae, sons of Helios and Rhodos, personification of the island.
Cercaphus and his brother Ochimus, stayed at the island of Rhodes and made their homes in the territory of Ialysus, where they founded the city of Achaea. There Ochimus being the eldest of the seven became the king. Cercaphus married his niece Cydippe, daughter of Ochimus and Hegetoria, and subsequently inherited the island.
After the death of Cercaphus, his three sons by Cydipe: Lindus, Ialysus and Camirus succeeded to the supreme power. During their lifetime there came a great devastating deluge, in which their mother Cydippe was buried beneath the flood and laid waste. Later on, they divided the island among themselves, and each founded a city they named after themselves (modern Lindus, Ialysos and Kameiros).
