Argius

Argius, in Greek mythology, is an epithet, most commonly associated with the god Zeus, particularly in the context of his veneration in Argos, a city in the Peloponnese region of Greece. The name "Argius" signifies "of Argos" or "related to Argos," thus designating Zeus's special connection to the city and its people. It indicates that Argos was a significant center for the worship of Zeus.

Beyond Zeus, the epithet can also occasionally be applied to other deities or heroes who have strong ties to the city of Argos. This highlights their importance and association with the region's religious and cultural life. The usage is relatively infrequent outside of contexts specifically relating to Argos and its history. The form of the name is important because it establishes a clear link between the deity (Zeus, primarily) and a specific geographic location and its inhabitants, underscoring the localized nature of some aspects of ancient Greek religious practice.
