Crisus

In Greek mythology, Crisus /ˈkraɪsəs/ or Crissus /ˈkrɪsəs/ (Ancient Greek: Κρῖσος) was a son of Phocus and twin brother of Panopeus. With Antiphateia, daughter of Naubolus, he became father of Strophius; thus he was the grandfather of Pylades.[1][2] He is also said to have founded the town of Crissa, which received its name from him.[3][4]
