Rhesus, the Hero-Daemon of Mount Pangaion

Thracian · demigod · Mythic/heroic Thrace (Trojan War cycle); cult attested by the Classical period · demigod

Heroized/culture-hero tier (the prompt asks to include attested heroized figures). Classified 'demigod': son of a Muse and the river-god Strymon (or king Eioneus), raised to a man-daemon between mortal and god. His anthrōpodaimōn status is the explicit Thracian model of immortality-without-death, paralleling Zalmoxis. Native theonym leads as the proper name (Rhēsos), transmitted in Greek.
