Phrygian river-god of Greek mythology, son of Oceanus and Tethys
Sangarius (;
Ancient Greek : Σαγγάριος ) is a
Phrygian
river-god of
Greek mythology .
[1]
Mythology
He is described as the son of the
Titans
Oceanus and his sister-wife
Tethys
[2] and as the husband of
Metope , by whom he became the father of
Hecuba .
[3] In some accounts, the mother was called the
naiad
Evagora .
[4] Alternatively, Sangarius had a daughter
Eunoë who became the mother of Hecabe by King
Dymas .
[5] He was also the father of
Nana and therefore the grandfather of
Attis .
[6] By
Cybele , Sangarius became the father of
Nicaea , mother of
Telete by
Dionysus .
[7] His other children were
Sagaritis
[8] and
Ocyrrhoe .
[9]
The
Sangarius river in
Phrygia (now Sakarya in Asian Turkey) itself is said to have derived its name from one Sangas, who had offended
Rhea and was punished by her by being changed into water.
