In Greek mythology, Crinacus (Ancient Greek: Κρίνακος) or Crineus 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.[1] In some accounts, Crinacus' father was called Hyrieus, eponymous king of Hyria in Boeotia.[2]
