Heptaporus (gr. Heptaporos), a son of Oceanus and Tethys, was the god of a small river near Mount Ida. (Homer Iliad. xii. 20; Hes. Theog. 341; Strab. pp.587, 602.)


When Achaeans sailed back to their dear native land,
then Poseidon and Apollo planned to erase that wall,
by stirring up the raging power of all rivers
flowing from Mount Ida to the sea—Rhesus,  
Heptaporus, Caresus, Rhodius, Granicus, 
Aesepus, the sacred Scamander and Simoeis,
Homer Iliad,12
