Carmanor
Carmanor or Karmanor ((ギリシア語:Καρμάνωρ)) was a Cretan demi-god related to the harvest; his name might derive from ''keiro'', "to cut/shear" (but see below). He was the ''Lord of Tarrha, Crete'' (in the Greek Aegean) and the Cretan consort to Demeter in Greek mythology,〔Kerenyi 1970, p. 412.〕 with whom he had a son, Euboulos, the patron of ploughing, and another son Chrysothemis, a singer. He was later killed by a jealous Zeus with a lightingbolt.
Carmanor's granddaughter, who shares the same powers and function and name origin, was named Karme (Carme). The name ''Karmanor'' could contain a reference to her name, simply meaning "the man of Karme", an epithet with the masculine ''-or'' suffix〔Compare Antenor etc.〕 describing his role; Karmanor was a double of Iacchus, the consort of Demeter, and was the purifier of Apollo after he had slain the earth-dragon Pytho, that possessed Delphi. "The name does not appear to be Greek", observed Walter Burkert of Karmanor.〔Burkert, ''The Orientalizing Revolution: Near Eastern Influence on Greek Culture in the Early Archaic Age'' Harvard University Press (1992:63); for the root ''krm'' as West Semitic "vineyard", see Stanislav Segert, ''A Basic Grammar of the Ugaritic Language'', ''s.v.'' "krm", with comparisons in Hebrew, Syrian and Arabic.〕
Carmanor is considered by some to be identified with Iasion, another consort of Demeter who is located in Crete.
Carmanor is also the name of a probably unrelated character only known from a very late story, the son of Dionysus and Alexirrhoe. He was said to have been killed by a boar during hunt, and the Lydian mountain Tmolus had allegedly been named "Carmanorium" after him before receiving its newer name.〔Pseudo-Plutarch, ''On Rivers'', 7. 5〕
