In Greek mythology, Ceryx (, ; ) was a member of the Athenian royal family as the son of Hermes by either of the princesses Pandrosus and Agraulus.
== Mythology == Ceryx 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 in 522 BC 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.
