Aristaeus

Aristaeus is a Greek culture hero and minor god credited with introducing many rural arts and crafts to humanity, especially beekeeping, along with dairying, olive cultivation, viticulture, shepherding, hunting, and crafts such as weaving, metalworking and fishing. He was the son of the huntress Cyrene and the god Apollo, and tradition placed his home in Libya. He married Autonoe, daughter of Cadmus of Thebes, and their children included Actaeon; some accounts also name him father of the goddess Hecate. Aristaeus was worshipped as a cult figure in Boeotia, Arcadia, Ceos, Sicily, Sardinia, Thessaly and Macedonia, and in Boeotia he was honored as a pastoral form of Apollo, with a role in the founding legends of Thebes through his marriage into the city ruling family.
