IX. THE LYCIAN WOMEN

9 That which is said to have happened in Lycia sounds like a myth, yet it has some supporting testimony in the tales that are told. Cf. Homer, Il. vi. 152 ff. and the scholia on Il. xvi. 328; Hyginus, Fabulae, no. 57; Apollodorus, Bibliotheca, ii. 3. Is Chimarrhus a Chimaera? Amisodarus, as they say, whom the Lycians call Isaras, arrived from the Lycian colony in the vicinity of Zeleia, bringing with him pirate ships, in command of which was Chimarrhus, a warlike man, bloodthirsty and brutal. He sailed in a vessel which had a lion as its figurehead at the prow, and a serpent at the stern. He did much evil to the Lycians, and it was not possible to sail the sea or even to live in the cities near the sea.
