In Greek mythology, Crinacus (Ancient Greek: Κρίνακος, romanized: Krīnakos) or Crineus (Κρίνειος, lit. 'judge' or 'one who discerns'[1]) was the second king of Olenus in Achaea[citation needed] after succeeding the eponymous Olenus, son of Zeus. He was another bastard son of Zeus as well, and the father of Macar who became the king of Lesbos.[2] In some accounts, Crinacus' father was called Hyrieus, eponymous king of Hyria in Boeotia.[3]
Note
[edit]- ↑ Linguistically, Crineus is derived from the Ancient Greek verb krino (κρίνω), which means "to judge," "to decide," "to separate," or "to choose."
