Macareus or Macar was, in Greek mythology, the son of Aeolus and either Enarete or Amphithea.
He and his sister Canace fell in love with each other and had a child together. Both Canace and the baby were killed by Aeolus after he had discovered this, and Macareus took his own life.[1][2][3]
Macareus, son of Aeolus, is also given as the father of Amphissa or Issa, who was seduced by Apollo in disguise of a shepherd.[4][5]
