[435] According to the tragedy of that name, Rhesos was the son of the river Strymon and a Muse; which means no doubt that he was a local divinity, like Kinyras of Cyprus, who appears in Homer as a king and contemporary of Agamemnon. Probably therefore “Ἠϊονεύς” is the Strymon, which is not elsewhere mentioned in H. This identification is ancient, and the name looks like a rivername (“ἠϊών”). There was, moreover, a town “Ἠϊόνη” on the Strymon.
