Carystus (mythology)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carystus or Carystos (Ancient Greek: Κάρυστος, romanized: Kárystos; pronounced /kəˈrɪstəs/ or /kaˈris.tus/, ka-RIS-tus) or Carycus, in Greek mythology, was the son of Chiron and a nymph Chariclo, brother of Hippe, Endeïs and Ocyrhoe. Carystus was the father of Zarex,[1][AI-generated source?] and also, a certain Aristaeus. In another version of the myth, his son Petraeus was the father of Zarax instead.[2][AI-generated source?] The town of Carystus on Euboea took the name from him.[3]
