ALOS (Ancient city) MAGNESSIA
Amphrysus (Amphrusos). A small river in Thessaly, rising in Mt. Others and flowing
near Alus into the Pagasaean gulf. It is celebrated in mythology as the river
on the banks of which Apollo fed the flocks of king Admetus. (Strab. pp. 433,
435; Apoll. Rhod. i. 54; Virg. Georg. iii. 2; Ov. Met. i. 580, vii. 229; Leake
Northern Greece, vol. iv. p. 337.) Hence the adjective Amphrysius is used in reference
to Apollo. Thus Virgil (Aen. vi. 398) calls the Sibyl Amphrysia vates. Statius
(Silv. i. 4. 105) uses the adjective Amphrysiacus in the same sense.
