In Greek mythology, Petraeus or Petraios (Ancient Greek: Πετραίῳ means 'of a rock') may refer to two separate characters:

Petraeus, the "laughing tippling" leader of the satyrs[1] who joined the army of Dionysus in his campaign against India.[2]
Petraeus, son of Carystus (son of Chiron) and father of Zarex,[3] adopted father of Anius.[4]
