Cranaus

In Greek mythology, Cranaus or Kranaos (; ) was the second King of Athens, succeeding Cecrops I.

== Family == Cranaus married Pedias, a Spartan woman and daughter of Mynes, with whom he had three daughters: Cranaë, Cranaechme, and Atthis. Atthis gave her name to Attica after dying, possibly as a young girl, although in other traditions she was the mother, by Hephaestus, of Erichthonius. Rarus was also given as a son of Cranaus.
