Agetor (Greek: Ἀγήτωρ), alternatively spelled Hegetor (Greek: Hγήτωρ) meaning Leader or Ruler was an epithet given to several Gods of Greek mythology,[1] primarily Zeus in the region of Lacedaemon.[2] The name probably describes Zeus as the ruler of Gods, humankind, and the Universe in general. Agetor was also an epithet of Apollo.[3] Finally, it was also an epithet applied to Hermes, who conducts the souls of men to the lower world. Under this name Hermes had a statue at Megalopolis.[4]
