Homagyrius

Homagyrius, i.e. the god of the assembly or league, is a surname of Zeus, under which he was worshiped at Aegium, on the northwestern coast of the Peloponnese, where Agamemnon was believed to have assembled the Greek chiefs, to deliberate on the war against Troy. Under this name Zeus was also worshiped, as the protector of the Achaean league.
