Zarex

A hero who was believed to have been instructed in music by Apollo, and had an heroum near Eleusis. Pausanias1 takes him to be a Laconian hero, and the founder of the town of Zarex in Laconia. The Scholiast on Lycophron2 describes him as a son of Carystus or Carycus, as a grandson of Chiron, and as the father of Anius by Rhoeo.
