Amphrysus
The Amphrysus was a river in ancient Thessaly, flowing from Mount Othrys to the Pagasetic Gulf. According to Strabo, it flowed close to the walls of the town Halos.
In Callimachus' "Hymn to Apollo" Apollo tends Admetus' herds by the Amphryssos during his punishment for killing the Cyclopes. In the Argonautica of Apollonius of Rhodes Eupolemeia bore the Argonaut Aethalides to Hermes near the Amphryssos.
In Virgil's Aeneid, 6.398, Virgil refers to the Sibyl as Amphrysia vates, to indicate that she is a priestess of the god Apollo. R. D. Williams comments: "Servius is justified in his comment longe petitum epitheton ."
