Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology/Rhoecus 1.

RHOECUS (Ῥoίκος), a centaur who, conjointly with Hylaeus, pursued Atalanta in Arcadia, but was killed by her with an arrow (Apollod. iii. 9. § 2; Callim. Hymn. in Dian. 221; Aelian, V. H. xiii. 1). This centaur is perhaps the same as the one who is called Rhoetus by Latin poets. (.)
