Sangarius (Gr. Σαγγάριος) is a Phrygian river-god of Greek mythology.^[1] He is described as the son of Oceanus and Tethys, and as the husband of Metope, by whom he became the father of Hecuba.^[2][3] He is also the father of Nana and therefore the grandfather of Attis.^[4] The Sakarya River (in Phrygia-Turkey) itself is said to have derived its name from one Sangas, who had offended Rhea, and was punished by her by being changed into water.^[5]
