Ceryx
:"For the moth genus, see "Ceryx (moth)".

In Greek mythology, Ceryx ( "Kērux", literally "herald") was a son of Hermes and either Pandrosus or Agraulus. He was, like his father, a messenger. But the "kêryx" career began as a humble cook for the tribe, a skill Hermes demonstrates in his cooked meat offerings on the Twelve Gods Altar set in place 522BC by Peisistratos III in Athens. The Homeric "Hymn to Hermes" 128 recalls the young god cutting out and laying up twelve steaks on a flat rock or "platamoni," the 12 Gods altar.
