Crius

Kreios or Krios (Greek Κρεῖος or Κριός, Latin Crius ) is one of the Titans of Greek mythology, son of Gaia and Uranus.

He is the husband of Eurybia and thus the only Titan Iapetus next to the first generation that does not take the own sister to wife. With her he is the father of Astraeus, Pallas, and Perses of.

It is believed that it is Kreios is a deity who was worshiped by the people of the Peloponnese until he was ousted in the wake of the Dorian invasion of the Greek gods. Probably the most original form Κριός suggests that there has been a theriomorph intended as ram god, that is to identify with Karneios. While he was ranked one hand in Hesiod in the genealogy of the Greek gods among the Titans, he was identified as Karneios with Apollo and still revered.
