In Greek mythology, Macar (/ˈmeɪkər/; Ancient Greek: Μάκαρ Makar) or Macareus (/məˈkæriəs, -ˈkɑːrjuːs/; Μακαρεύς Makareus means 'happy'[1]) or Macareas (Μακαρέας, Makareas), is the name of several individuals:
- Macareus, an Arcadian prince as one of the 50 sons of the impious King Lycaon either by the naiad Cyllene,[2] Nonacris[3] or by unknown woman. He was the eponym of the town of Macaria in Arcadia.[4] Macareus and his siblings were the most nefarious and carefree of all people. To test them, Zeus visited them in the form of a peasant. These brothers mixed the entrails of a child into the god's meal, whereupon the enraged king of the gods threw the meal over the table. Macareus was killed, along with his brothers and their father, by a lightning bolt of the god.[5]
- Macareus, son of Aeolus and either Enarete or Amphithea.[6]
- Macareus, a king of Locris and father to Euboea.[7] He may be the same with Macareus, father of Megaclite who consorted with Zeus and became the mother of Thebe and Locrus.[8]
- Macareus, a king of Lesbos and son of Crinacus.[9]
- Macareus of Rhodes, one of the Heliadae, children of Rhodus and Helios.[10]
- Macareus, one of the Lapiths at the wedding of Pirithous and Hippodamia; he killed the Centaur Erigdupus.[11]
- Macareus, a companion to Odysseus on his voyages, from Nericus, who also encountered Aeneas. He was one of those who got transformed into pigs by Circe.[12]
