Hero cult Adrastus had hero cults at Sicyon, Megara and Kolonos.For a discussion of the hero cult of Adrastus, see Farnell, pp. 334–336. According to Herodotus, Adrastus had a hero shrine (heroon) in the marketplace at Sicyon, and, up until the reign of Cleisthenes of Sicyon (c. 600–560 BC), was celebrated there with "sacrifices and festivals" and "tragic choruses".Herodotus, 5.67. Pausanias says that Adrastus was "honored" at Megara, where presumably his tomb could be seen.Hard, p. 327; Pausanias, 1.43.1. Pausanias also mentions a hero shrine at Kolonos in Attica.Pausanias, 1.30.4.
