A point P in the plane of a given triangle ABC is said to be equicevian if the cevians AAP, BBP, and CCP through P are of equal length. In this note, we see that the set Ω of equicevian points can be obtained via three cubic curves, and we give a complete description of Ω including also the imaginary solutions. There exist up to ten equicevian points, among them the four focal points of the Steiner circumellipse. Besides, we present properties of the so-called equicevian cubics which in the irreducible case are strophoids, i.e., rational and circular with orthogonal tangents at their node.
