ΣΧΟΙΝΟΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΘΗΒΕΣ
Schoinous. The name of several towns, from the reeds or rushes growing
in their neighbourhood (usually Schoinos). A town in Boeotia, mentioned by Homer
(Il. ii. 497), and placed by Stabo upon a river of the same name in the territory
of Thebes, upon the road to Anthedon, and at the distance of 50 stadia from Thebes.
(Strab. ix. p. 408; Eustath. ad loc.; Steph. B. s. v.; Nicander, Theriac. 887;
Plin. iv. 7. s. 12.) This river is probably the stream flowing into the lake of
Hylica from the valley of Moriki, and which near its mouth is covered with rushes.
Nicander is clearly wrong, who makes the Schoenus flow into the lake Copais. (Ulrichs,
Reisen, p. 258; Leake, Northern Greece, vol. ii. p. 320.) Schoenus was the birthplace
of the celebrated Atalanta, the daughter of Schoenus (Paus. viii. 35. § 10); and
hence Statius gives to Schoenus the epithet of Atalantaeus.
