(Βῶρμος or Βῶριμος), a son of Upius, a Mariandynian,. was a youth distinguished for his extraordinary beauty. Once during the time of harvest, when he went to a well to fetch water for the reapers, he was drawn into the well by the nymphs, and never appeared again. For this rea-son, the country people in Bithynia celebrated his memory every year at the time of harvest with plaintive songs (βῶρμοι) with the accompaniment of their flutes. (Athen. 14.620; Aeschyl. Pers. 941; Schol. ad Dionys. Perieg. 791; Pollux, 4.54.)
