Cres (mythology)
In Greek mythology, Cres or Kres (Κρής, gen. Κρητός) was a possible eponym of the island Crete. Stephanus of Byzantium distinguishes between two figures of this name: one was a son of Zeus and the nymph Idaea, and the other a Cretan autochthon.〔Stephanus of Byzantium s. v. Krētē〕 According to Cinaethon of Sparta, Cres was the father of Talos.〔Cited in Pausanias, ''Description of Greece'', 8. 53. 5〕
The autochthonous Cres is mentioned by Diodorus Siculus as the king of a whole earth-born nation, the Eteocretans ("true Cretans"), and the inventor of a number of items that were crucial for the development of the human civilization.〔Diodorus Siculus, ''Library of History'', 5. 64. 1〕 According to a tradition recorded by Stephanus, it was during Cres' reign that Tectaphus, son of Dorus, migrated to Crete from Thessaly, followed by Dorian and Achaean tribes, as well as by those of the Pelasgians that had not migrated to Tyrrhenia.〔Stephanus of Byzantium s. v. ''Dōrion''〕
Several authors identified Cres as one of the Curetes, possibly their king,〔Anaximander in Solinus, 11. 5〕 and therefore a caretaker of the young Zeus who was hidden by him in a cave on Crete.〔Arrian in Eustathius on Dionysius Periegetes, 498〕
