SCAMANDER
an Oceanid, son of Oceanus and Tethys
and the god of the river Scamander, in Troas, was called by the
gods Xanthus. Being insulted by Achilles, he entered into a
contest with the Greek hero but Hera sent
out Hephaestus to assist Achilles,
and the god of fire dried up the waters of Scamander, and
frightened Scamander, until Hera ordered Hephaestus to spare the
river-god. By Idaea, he fathered Teucrus.(Theogony of Hesiod
345.)
