Inscriptions found in Sarmizegetusa and Aachen syncretize the rejuvenating powers of Grannus with the Roman form of this figure. He supposedly liked to spend time at Patara during the winter, where a female oracle honored him. This figure was angered when his lover Carnus was killed for his prophetic powers. He's not Eros, but Homer relates that this deity had arrows of gold that could drive away the clouds. He eloped with Creusa to Libya, and there he founded the city of Cyrene. This figure is the father of the apiculturist Aristaeus. Tmolus awarded this figure a prize for besting another figure. In another instance, he flayed the skin of his opponent, Marsyas. This man was also the dedicatee of a series of games held in Pythia at his name
