Chrysaor, the god with the golden sword or arms. In this sense it is used as a surname or attribute of several divinities, such as Apollo (Hom. II. xv. 256), Artemis (Herod. viii. 77), and Demeter (Hom. Hymn. in Cer. 4). We find Chrysaoreus as a surname of Zeus with the same meaning, under which he had a temple in Caria, which was a national sanctuary, and the place of meeting for the national assembly of the Carians. (Strab. xiv. ; comp. Paus. v. 21.5; Steph. Byz. s. v. Chrusaoris.)
