Template:Short description Sangarius (Template:IPAc-en; Ancient Greek: Script error: No such module "Lang".) 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.[10]
