3.6
What he says also about Oechalia requires examination, where he asserts that the city of Eurytus of Oechalia is the only city, when there is more than one city of that name. It is therefore evident that he means the Thessalian city mentioned by Homer: And they who occupied Oechalia, the city of Eurytus, the Oechalian.Il. ii. 730.Il. ii. 730. What city, then, is that on the road from which Thamyris the Thracian was met by the Muses, and deprived of the power of song, for he says, Coming from Oechalia, from the dwelling of Eurytus, the Oechalian.Il. ii. 591.Il. ii. 591. If this were the city in Thessaly, the Scepsian is mistaken in mentioning some city in Arcadia, which is now called Andania. If he is not mistaken, still the Arcadian Oechalia is said to be the city of Eurytus, so that there is not one city only of that name, although Apollodorus asserts that there is but one.
