Car or Kar (Ancient Greek: Κάρ) is a name in Greek mythology that refers to two characters who may or may not be one and the same.[1]
Car, king of Megara and son of Phoroneus by Cerdo.[2] His tomb was located on the road from Megara to Corinth.[3] From Car, the acropolis at Megara derived its name Caria[4] where the 'Chamber of Demeter' was said to have been built by him when he was the king of the land.[5]
^Smith, p. 607. CAR (Καρ), a son of Phoroneus, and king of Megara, from whom the acropolis of this town derived its name Caria. (Paus. i. 39. § 4, 40. § 5). His tomb was shown as late as the time of Pausanias, on the road from Megara to Corinth, (i. 44. § 9). Another mythical personage of the name of Car, who was a brother of Lydus and Mysus, and was regarded as the ancestral hero of the Carians, is mentioned by Herodotus, (i. 171.) [L. S.]
