In Greek mythology Cercaphus was one of the Heliadae sons of Helios and Rhodus. He and his brother Ochimus were the only to stay at the island of Rhodes after their brother Tenages was killed by the other four and the murderers had to escape. Ochimus the eldest of the seven became the king of Rhodes. Cercaphus married his brother’s daughter Cydippe (or Cyrbia) daughter of Ochimus and Hegetoria and subsequently inherited the island.
