ʼΡᾶρος, ὁ,
  • Rarus, father of Triptolemus, Paus. 1.14.3, Hsch., Suid.; in Phot. Ῥάρ:—τὸ ᾽Ράριον πεδίον the field of Rarus, where tillage was first practised, and which was sacred to Demeter, Paus. 1.38.6, St.Byz.; (without πεδίον) ʼΡάριον, τό, h.Cer. 450; ʼΡαρία, ἡ (sc. γῆ), Plu. Coniug. 2.144b; whence the goddess was herself called ʼΡαριάς, ἡ, St.Byz. [α is long, h.Cer. l.c., so that the accent is prob. not ʼΡάρος, as in most codd.:—for the smooth breathing, v. Hdn.Gr. 2.402, 940.]
