Zarex (Ancient Greek: Ζάρηξ) or Zarax (Ζάραξ) is the name of a hero of ancient Greek mythology, son of Carystus (Carycus) or by the latter's son Petraeus.




Family


Zarex married Rhoeo, and became the father of Anius and four other children. In some accounts, Zarex adopted his wife's son, Anius, who was raised by his divine father Apollo.




Mythology


Zarex was credited with having learned the music of Apollo, and having founded the town of Zarex in Laconia; he also had a heroon at Eleusis, next to that of Hippothoon. There also was a mountain on Euboea thought to be named after him.
Pausanias wrote that there may was also another Zarex, an Athenian hero, but he had nothing to say concerning him.
