Apemius

Apemius (Ancient Greek: Ἀπήμιος) or Apemios was an epithet of the god Zeus in Greek mythology, which meant "averter of ills".[1] Under this name Zeus had an altar on Mount Parnes in Attica,[2] on which sacrifices were offered to him.[3]

There is also a mountain at Hymettus with shrines to Zeus that some scholars considered to be connected to his worship as Apemius.[4][5]
