Galeus

That is, "the lizard," a son of Apollo and Themisto, the daughter of the Hyperborean king Zabius. In pursuance of an oracle of the Dodonean Zeus, Galeus emigrated to Sicily, where he built a sanctuary to his father Apollo. The Galeotae, a family of Sicilian sooth-sayers, derived their origin from him. (Aelian, Historical Miscellany)

The principal seat of the Galeatae was the town of Hybla.
