Misor was the name of a deity appearing in a theogeny provided by Roman era Phoenician writerPhilo of Byblos in an account preserved byEusebius inPraeparatio Evangelica,^[1] and attributed to the still earlierSanchuniathon. He was one of two children of the deities Amunos and Magos. The other named wasSydyk. It is said that these two were the first to discover the use ofsalt. The names "Misor" and "Sydyk" mean "Straight" and "Just"^[2] (or, in another translation, "Well-freed" and "Just"^[3]).

Misor's son was namedTaautus, and believed to be the inventor of the first written alphabet.^[4]
