In Greek mythology, Crius (/ˈkraɪəs/; Ancient Greek: Κρεῖος^[1] or Κριός, Kreios/Krios) was one of the Titans, children of Uranus and Gaia.^[2] Like other Titans, Crius lacks much characterization, with no unique domain or mythology of his own; instead, he apparently served a purely genealogical function in mythology, to provide parentage for other figures.

^ Etymology uncertain: traditionally considered a variation of κρῑός "ram"; the word κρεῖος was also extant in Ancient Greek but only in the sense of "type of mussel" [1] Archived 2012-02-19 at the Wayback Machine [2]^{[permanent dead link]}.
