In Greek mythology, Marathonius or Marathonios may refer to two distinct characters:
-
Marathonius, the 13th king of Sicyon who reigned for 30 years. His predecessor was Orthopolis and himself was succeeded by Marathus. During his reign, Cecrops I became the first king of Attica.
[Eusebius, Chronographia 63]
-
Marathonios, the Locrians son of Deucalion and Pyrrha, the legendary progenitors of the Greeks race. He was the brother of Orestheus and Pronous, father of Hellen.
[Gantz, p. 167; Hecateus fr. 1F13.]
