Carius

Carius or Karios (Ancient Greek: Κάριος) was 
the son of Zeus and Torrhebia. According to Hellanicus, 
there was a mountain named Karios (Carius) near this 
city, with the sanctuary of Carius situated on it. As 
Carius was wandering by a lake which later received 
the name Torrhebis, he heard the voices of nymphs 
singing; these nymphs, were also called the Muses 
by the Lydians. Carius learned the music from them, 
and taught it to the Lydians. This kind of music was 
known as "Torrhebian songs"
