Mythology knows of a Locrus, eponym of the Locrians, variously related to Amphictyon, a son of Deucalion (he is at times his son, at times his great-grandson).
Locrus had for wife Protogenia ("the first born" in Greek), the daughter of Deucalion, who had two sons from Zeus, Æthlius and Opus (the eponym of the city by the same name), of whom Locrus was the "mortal" father.
It is as a result of a fight between Locrus and his son Opus that the former decided to leave the throne to his son and move with some of his subjects to another country, eventually to settle on the western slopes of Mount Parnassus, in what became Ozolian Locris.
Athenian Justice: Re-thinking the Fragments of Sophocles' Ajax Locrus
This paper will re-evaluate the fragments of Ajax Locrus in light of this painting demonstrating that Sophocles’ play is part of a larger cultural project aimed at glorifying the justice system of Athens.
The transformation of the myth of Ajax Locrus prefigures Athenian judicial imperialism as does Eumenides and the paintings.
Locrus, having quarrelled with his brother Alcinous, made an agreement with him whereby Alcinous would be king of Phaeacia while Locrus, taking some treasures and part of the people, would leave the country.
Some time later, Heracles 1, who passed by driving the cattle of Geryon, and was received as a guest by Locrus.
But Heracles 1, having thought that Locrus was someone coming to the aid of the king, shot an arrow and killed him [Con.3].

Timaeus of Locres or Timaeus of Locris or Timaeus of Locri or, in Latin, Timaeus Locrus was a Pythagorean philosopher living in the 5th century BC.
He features in Plato's Timaeus, where he is said to come from Locri in Italy.

Scholars are not certain whether the eponymous Timaeus Locrus of Plato's dialogue ever really existed.
In any case, the treatise On the World and the Soul attributed to this person is an early to mid-first century B.C. work containing an epitome of the Timaeus dialogue, though with some omissions.

A son of Physcius and grandson of Amphictyon, became by Cabya the father of Locrus, the mythical ancestor of the Ozolian Locrians (Plut.
According to some the wife of the former Locrus was called Cambyse or Protogeneia (Pind.
The Hellenistic text attributed to Timaeus Locrus, On the Nature of the World and the Soul, purports to be the original upon which Plato drew for his dialogue of his name.
While this merely reiterates what is found in Plato's Timaeus (42d-e), the supposition that one could read this account straight from Timaeus Locrus gave authority to these notions.
It is likely that these ideas filtered to the astrologers, who would devise methods for seeking out the ruling planet (oikodespotês) for an individual (see section on Porphyry).

The direct objective of LOCRUS, is to place Europe as the research leader of in the area of Crustacea and Sea-Urchin sustainable fishery and aquaculture development, by integrating the European research community, key high-tech SMEs / Larger companies, and effective dissemination bodies.
The resulting Network of Excellence would enable the interchange of knowledge, identify clear scientific goals and stimulate an integrated approach to problem solving.
The Network would be designed to optimise the use of research infrastructures within, both, the academic and industrial communities.
Perhaps a suitable historical approach to the question is the one proposed by the famous Russian philosopher Alexey Losev, in his Ancient Cosmos and Contemporary Science:
As it is known, the Neo-Pythagoreanism developed into two different directions: the first didn't put forward the concept of the number (Timaeus Locrus, Ocellos, Pseudo-Architos); the second proceeded from the philosophy of number -- here are the Pythagoreans Alexander Polyhistor, and also Moderatus, Nichomachos, Numenius and some others.
The study of this second direction in the Neo-Pythagoreanism is especially important for understanding of Plotinus' (say, Neo-Platonic) teaching of matter.
All things that he (Autolyeus) took in his hands, he made to disappear.'
`For Locrus truly was leader of the Lelegian people, whom Zeus the Son of Cronos, whose wisdom is unfailing, gave to Deucalion, stones gathered out of the earth.
So out of stones mortal men were made, and they were called people.' *145
I heartily agree with the remark that no man who has unsparingly thrown himself into politics trusting in the loyalty of the democracy has ever met with a happy death.
[1.8.4] Near the statue of Demosthenes is a sanctuary of Ares, where are placed two images of Aphrodite, one of Ares made by Alcamenes, and one of Athena made by a Parian of the name of Locrus.
There is also an image of Enyo, made by the sons of Praxiteles.

European Network for Lobster, Crab, Prawn & Sea-Urchins
The LOCRUS Network would seek to stimulate research and knowledge sharing in the areas of effective management of habitats and sustainable management and conservation of fisheries, with respect to crustacea and sea-urchins.
The work would also seek to stimulate new, and sustainable methods for aquaculture and restocking of fisheries, including stimulating development of artificial reefs.
