In Greek mythology Crisus /ˈkraɪsəs/ or Crissus /ˈkrɪsəs/ (Greek Κρῖσος) was a son of Phocus and brother of Panopeus. With Antiphateia daughter of Naubolus he became father of Strophius; thus he was the grandfather of Pylades. He is also said to have founded the town of Crissa which received its name from him.
