Hyperochus

In Greek mythology, the name Hyperochus (Ancient Greek: Ὑπέροχος) may refer to:

Hyperochus, a son of Priam.
Hyperochus, possibly the father of Oenomaus by Sterope.
Hyperochus, a descendant of Magnes, son of Haemon, father of Tenthredon and thus grandfather of Prothous.
Hyperochus, a Hyperborean whose ghost, alongside those of Pyrrhus (Neoptolemus) and a fellow Hyperborean Amadocus (or Laodocus), and possibly that of Phylacus, were believed to have terrorized the Gaul invaders during the historical battle at Delphi.

Hypeirochus (Ὑπείροχος) is a variant of the same name which refers to:

Hypeirochus, a defender of Troy killed by Odysseus; may or may not be the same as the son of Priam.
Hypeirochus, father of Itymoneus; the latter was killed by Nestor in the war between the Pylians and the Eleans.
