Cragaleus

In Greek mythology, Cragaleus (/krəˈɡaɪliːəs/; Ancient Greek: Κραγαλεύς) was a son of Dryops who dwelt in the land Dryopis next to a spring which was believed to have appeared at a place where Heracles hit the earth with his club (near Thermopylae).

[1] Cragaleus was renowned as just and wise and was one day visited by Apollo, Artemis, and Heracles.

who asked him to act as an arbiter in their argument as to which of the three should become patron of Ambracia, Epirus.

Artemis reminded that it was she who saved the Ambraciotes from the tyrant Phalecus, having sent a lioness to kill him.

Since then, the Ambraciotes sacrificed to Apollo the Saviour, but believed their city to belong to Heracles and the Heracleidae, and honored Cragaleus with sacrifices as well.
