Σοφοκλῆς Τεύκρῳ. ἀπὸ Κυχρέως τοῦ Σαλαμῖνος καὶ Ποσειδῶνος, ὃς ὄφις ἐπεκλήθη διὰ τὴν τραχύτητα τῶν τρόπων, ὃν λυμαινόμενον τὴν νῆσον ἀπήλασεν Εὐρύλοχος, ἐδέξατο δ´ ἐν Ἐλευσῖνι Δημήτηρ καὶ ἀμφίπολον ἐποίησεν. ἀπ´ αὐτοῦ δὲ καὶ ἡ Σαλαμὶς Κυχρεία ἐκλήθη, ὡς Στράβων. τὸ ἐθνικὸν Κυχρεοπαγίτης.

Kychreios outcrop: near Salamis. Sophocles in his Teukros. After Kychreus son of Salamis and Poseidon, who was named 'Snake' because he was very wild by disposition. Eurylochos drove him out because he was ravaging the island, and Demeter received him at Eleusis and made him her attendant. Salamis was also called 'Kychreia' after him, as per Strabo, book 9. The ethnonym is 'Kychreopagites'.
