Zanclus

Zanclus (Ancient Greek: Ζάγκλος[1]) is the legendary first king of the Sicilian city of Messina.

He is mentioned in an etiological passage by Diodorus of Sicily, and has become a symbol of Messina.

The giant Orion is said to have helped Zanclus in building the city and the harbor.

[2] Stephanus of Byzantium also wrote about Zanclus, stating that Zancle could have been named either after him or the well Ζάγκλη.
