Same entry, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon (545). The name of a hero, according to Herodian, On Prosody [Grammatici Graeci 3,1] 110.18 (accented *Gri=os there); possibly, then, an error for Grinos/Grinnos, mentioned in Herodotus 4.150.2-3 as a (legendary?) king of Thera, who received the oracle telling him to found the colony Cyrene in North Africa. Otherwise unknown.
A mountain or mountain range Grion is described by Strabo, east of Miletus and overshadowing Mylasa (14.1.8, cf. 14.2.23).
