In
Greek mythology, Cranaus was the second
King of
Athens, succeeding
Cecrops I. He was autochthonous (born from the earth), like his predecessor. During his reign the flood of the
Deucalion story was thought to have occurred. He married Pedias, a
Spartan woman, with whom he had Cranae, 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.
