KLAROS (Ancient sanctuary) TURKEY
Clarius (Klarios), a surname of Apollo, derived from his celebrated temple at Claros in
Asia Minor, which had been founded by Manto, the daughter of Teiresias, who, after
the conquest of her native city of Thebes, was made over to the Delphic god, and
was then sent into the country, where subsequently Colophon was built by the Ionians
(Paus. vii. 3.1, ix. 33.1; Tacit. Ann. ii. 54; Strab. xiv.; Virg. Aen. iii. 360).
Clarius also occurs as a surname of Zeus, describing him as the god who distributes
things by lot (klaros or kleros, Aeschyl. Suppl. 360). A hill near Tegea was sacred
to Zeus under this name (Paus. viii. 53.4)
