In
Greek mythology, Salagus (
Ancient Greek: Σάλαγόν) was the
Cretan son of
Oenopion, son of
Ariadne. His mother was probably the
nymph Helice and his sister was
Merope (Aero) who was raped by the giant hunter
Orion. Together with his brothers
Euanthes,
Melas,
Talus and
Athamas, they followed their father when he sailed with a fleet from Crete to
Chios.
[Pausanias, 7.4.8]
