Mythology

Only Athenaeus in his Deipnosophistae mentioned Sykeus' myth with his source being Tryphon's Of Plants (or Names of Plants) [3] and Androtion's Farmers' Handbook: [2]

Sykeus, one of the Titans, was pursued by Zeus and taken under the protection of his mother, Earth, and that she caused the plant [the fig] to grow for her son's pleasure.
