"Of these [nine]daughters [of Asopos]... while Korkyra and Salamis and lovely Euboia were stolen by father Poseidon." - Greek Lyric IV Corinna, Frag 654

"The bright-belted daughters [of Asopos] whom gods settled with happy fortunes as founders of invoilate cities. Who does not know of the well-built town of ... Korkyra." - Greek Lyric IV Bacchylides, Frag 9

"Korkyra, where Poseidon found a home, far from her native land, for Asopos’ daughter, Korkyra of the lovely locks, when in his passion he had made off with her from Phlios. The dark forests that cover the island give it a sombre look, and passing sailors call it Black Korkyra." - Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 4.565

"His [Asopos'] daughters, say the Phliasians, were Korkyra, Aigina, and Thebe. Korkyra and Aigina gave new names to the islands called Skheria and Oinone." - Pausanias, Guide to Greece 2.5.1

"The Phliasians [of Sikyonia] also dedicated [at Olympia] a Zeus, the daughters of Asopos, and Asopos himself. Their images have been ordered thus: Nemea is the first of the sisters ... after her is Korkyra, with Thebe next; last of all comes Asopos. There is a legend about Korkyra that she mated with Poseidon." - Pausanias, Guide to Greece 5.22.6

"Asopos made his home in Phlios, where he married Metope, the daughter of Ladon, to whom were born two sons, Pelasgos and Ismenos, and twelve daughters, Korkyra and Salamis, also Aigina, Peirene, and Kleone, then Thebe, Tanagra, Thespeia, and Asopis, also Sinope, and finally Ornia and Khalkis ... Korkyra was carried off by Poseidon to the island which was named Korkyra after her; and to her and Poseidon was born Phaiax, from whom the Phaiakians afterwards received the name they bear." - Diodorus Siculus, Library of History 4.72.1-5
