Hecaterus


In Greek mythology, Hecaterus or Hekateros was a minor god and the father of five daughters by the daughter of Phoroneus, and through them grandfather of the Oreads, Satyrs, and Curetes.
His name has been interpreted as referring to the hekateris, and himself as a patron or personification of this dance. On the other hand, it has been suggested that the name "Hekateros" could result from corruption of the purported ἑκ Δώρου "of Dorus".
