Pierus (son of Makedon)

Pierus (Ancient Greek: Πίερος), was the king of Emathia in Macedonia. He was the eponym of Pieria and Mt. Pierus. Pierus was credited to be the first to write in the praise of the Muses. Pierus is the son of Makednos and Oreithyia, daughter of Cecrops. Most of the myths recounted Pierus to have fathered the Pierides by Antiope.
