According to the Byzantine author
John the Lydian (c. AD 490 – 565),
Hesiod, in his Catalogue of Women, states that Graecus is the son of Zeus and Pandora, daughter of Deucalion and
Pyrrha, and says, in addition, that he has a brother,
Latinus.[1] The Byzantine author
Stephanus of Byzantium (fl. 6th century AD) states that Graecus was a son of
Thessalus.[2]
Graecus was the eponym of the Graecians, a group of Hellenic people who lived westwards of the Hellenes mentioned by
Homer. The Hellenic peoples collectively came to be known as Graeci in Latin, after the Graecians.[3]
