In Greek mythology Rarus (Ρᾶρος) or Rar (Ρᾶρ) was a son of Cranaus eponym of the Rharian Field near Eleusis and a possible father of Triptolemus by an unnamed daughter of Amphictyon. According to Suda Rarus was the father of Celeus and through him grandfather of Triptolemus. He received Demeter hospitably as she was searching for her daughter Persephone and the goddess in reward taught his grandson the art of cultivating crops.
