In [[Greek mythology]], '''Crius''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|k|r|aɪ|ə|s}}; {{lang-grc|Κρεῖος}}<ref>Etymology uncertain: traditionally considered a variation of κρῑός "ram"; the word κρεῖος was also extant in Ancient Greek but only in the sense of "type of mussel" [http://archimedes.fas.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/dict?word=krio/s&lang=&name=lsj&filter=CUTF8] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120219062823/http://archimedes.fas.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/dict?word=krio%2Fs&lang=&name=lsj&filter=CUTF8 |date=2012-02-19 }}[http://www.operone.de/stw/greekad.php?search=%26%238001%3B&operator=and]{{dead link|date=December 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}.</ref> or Κριός, ''Kreios''/''Krios'') was one of the [[Titan (mythology)|Titans]], children of [[Uranus (mythology)|Uranus]] and [[Gaia (mythology)|Gaia]].<ref>[[Hesiod]]. ''[[Theogony]]'', [http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0130%3Acard%3D104 133]; [[Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus)|Apollodorus]], [http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0022%3Atext%3DLibrary%3Abook%3D1%3Achapter%3D1%3Asection%3D3 1.1.3].</ref>
As the least individualized among the Titans,<ref>"About the other siblings of Kronos no close inquiry is called for," observes Friedrich Solmsen, in discussing "The Two Near Eastern Sources of Hesiod", ''Hermes'' '''117'''.4 (1989:413–422) p. 419. "They prove useful for Hesiod to head his pedigrees of the gods", adding in a note "On [[Koios]] and Kreios we have to admit abysmal ignorance."</ref> he was overthrown in the [[Titanomachy]]. [[Martin Litchfield West|M. L. West]] has suggested how [[Hesiod]] filled out the complement of Titans from the core group—adding three figures from the archaic tradition of [[Delphi]], [[Coeus]], and [[Phoebe (mythology)|Phoibe]], whose name [[Apollo]] assumed with the oracle, and [[Themis]].<ref>M.L. West, "Hesiod's Titans," ''The Journal of Hellenic Studies'' '''105''' (1985), pp. 174–175.</ref> Among possible further interpolations among the Titans was Crius, whose interest for Hesiod was as the father of [[Perses (Titan)|Perses]] and grandfather of [[Hecate]], for whom Hesiod was, according to West, an "enthusiastic evangelist".
