Hesychius says Cinyras was a son of Apollo, [17] while Hyginus consistently calls him a son of Paphos (presumably the eponym of Paphos), [18] and a scholiast on Pindar makes him a son of Eurymedon and the nymph Paphia. [19] In other sources, he is the husband of Galatea [citation needed]. Cinyras was also called the father of Myrrha. [20]
Myrrha's nurse told King Cinyras of a girl deeply in love with him, giving a false name. The affair lasted several nights in complete darkness to conceal Myrrha's identity, [e] until Cinyras wanted to know the identity of his paramour. Upon bringing in a lamp, and seeing his daughter, the king attempted to kill her on the spot, but Myrrha escaped.

Cinna's literary fame was established by his magnum opus "Zmyrna", a mythological epic poem focused on the incestuous love of Smyrna (or Myrrha) for her father Cinyras, treated after the erudite and allusive manner of the Alexandrian poets. [2] He was a friend of Catullus (poem 10, 29–30: meus sodalis / Cinna est Gaius).
Cinyras agreed, and the nurse was quick to bring Myrrha to him. Myrrha left her father's room impregnated. [27] After several couplings, Cinyras discovered his lover's identity and drew his sword to kill her; driven out after becoming pregnant, Myrrha was changed into a myrrh tree but still gave birth to Adonis.
