In Greek mythology Axius (The name comes from the ancient Greek root axios (ἄξιος), which relates to weight, balance, and merit (as in a balanced scale).) is a Paeonian river god, the son of Oceanus and Tethys. He was the father of Pelagon, by Periboea, daughter of Acessamenus. His domain was the river Axius, now known as the Vardar, flowing in the ancient region of Macedonia.
The river god was an ancestor of Euphemus and his son, Eurybarus, the hero who slew the drakaina Sybaris.Antoninus Liberalis, 8 as cited in Boeus' Ornithogonia
