(Σαγγάριος), a river-god, is described as the son of Oceanus and Tethys, and as the husband of Metope, by whom he became the father of Hecabe. (Hes. Theog. 344 ; Apollod. 3.12.5.) The river Sangarius (in Phrygia) itself is said to have derived its name from one Sangas, who had offended Rhea, and was punished by her by being changed into water. (Schol. ad Apollon. Rhod. 2.722.) [L.S]
SANGA´RIUS (Σαγγάριος: Sakarya or Sakari; Turkish Ayala), one of the principal rivers of Asia Minor, is mentioned in the Iliad (3.187, 16.719) and in Hesiod (Hes. Th. 344). Its name appears in different forms as Sagraphos (Schol. ad Apollon. Rhod. 2.724), Sangaris (Constant. Porphyr. 1.5), or Sagaris (Ov. ex Pont. 4.1017; Plin. Nat. 6.1; Solin 43). This river had its sources on Mount Adoreus, near the town of Sangia in Phrygia, not far from the Galatian frontier (Strab. 12. p. 543), and flowed in a very tortuous course, first in an eastern, then in a northern, then in a horth-western, and lastly again in a northern direction through Bithynia into the Euxine. In one part of its course it formed the boundary between Phrygia and Bithynia; and in early times Bithynia was bounded on the east by the Sangarius. [BITHYNIA]
The Bithynian part of the river was navigable, and was celebrated from the abundance of fish found in it. Its principal tributaries were the Alander, Bathys, Thymbres, and Gallus. (Comp. Scylax, p. 34; Apollon. 2.724; Scymnus. 234, foil.; Strab. xii. pp. 563, 567; Dionys. Perieg. 811; Ptol. 5.1.6; Steph. B. s. v.;Liv. 38.18; Plin. Nat. 5.43; Ammian. 22.9.)
[L.S](Σαγγάριος), Sangăris (Σάγγαρις), or Sagăris (Σάγαρις). Now Sakariyeh. The largest river of Asia Minor after the Halys; it had its source in a mountain called Adoreus, near the little town of Sangia, on the borders of Galatia and Phrygia, whence it flowed first north through Galatia, then west and northwest through the northeastern part of Phrygia, and then north through Bithynia, of which it originally formed the eastern boundary. It fell at last into the Euxine, about half way between the Bosporus and Heraclea (Strabo, p. 543).
