In Greek mythology, Crius, Krios or Kreios (; or ) was one of the Titans, the children of Uranus (Sky) and Gaia (Earth).

== Etymology == Although "krios" was also the ancient Greek word for "ram", the Titan's chthonic position in the underworld means no classical association with Aries, the ram of the zodiac, is ordinarily made. At the time of Ancient Greece, Aries was the first visible constellation in the sky at the spring season, marking the start of the new year in the ancient Greek calendar.
