Aricia (Ancient Greek: Ἀρικία) is a name appearing in Virgil’s Aeneid in a context that makes it possible for it to be interpreted as referring to a mythical personage:Ibat et Hippolyti proles pulcherrima belloVirbius insignem quem mater Aricia misit…(Rough translation: To the war also came the most fair offspring of Hippolytus Virbius whom distinguished mother Aricia sent…)It may appear from the quoted passage that Aricia is the mother of Virbius by Hippolytus.
