In Greek mythology, Cragus or Cragos ( Ancient Greek: Κράγος Kragos) was a Lycian god identified with Zeus, and humanized into a son of Tremiles, eponym of Tremile which was afterwards named Lycia. [1]
Cragus' mother was the nymph Praxidice, daughter of Ogygus, and brother of Tlos, Pinarus [2] and Xanthus. [3] Cragus may be identical with the figure of the same name mentioned as the husband of Milye, sister-wife of Solymus, eponym of the Solymi. [4] Possibly by Milye, he became the father of Chelidon, mother of Sidymus (eponym of Sidyma). [5]
It was after Cragus that Mount Cragus and/or the city of Cragus were named. He was worshipped as the god of victory and strength.
