Lycorus
In Greek mythology, Lycorus pronounced lahy-ker-is, or Lycoreus was a son of Apollo and the nymph Corycia. After him a city was named Lycoreia (later Delphi, after Delphus, great-grandson of Lycorus). He was father of Hyamus.
The name Lycoreus may also refer to:
- A companion of Amycus.
- A defender of Thebes against the Seven, killed by Amphiaraus.
In modern fiction, one bearer of the name is Licorus Black, wizard in Harry Potter, the first known member of the Noble House of Black.
