O'nasus
(
*)/Onasos), the author of a work on the Amazons, entitled
Ἀμαζονίς or
Ἀμαζονικά, which was supposed by Heyne (
ad Apollod. 2.5.9) and others to have been an epic poem; but it has been observed by Welcker (
Epische Cyclus, p. 320) and Grote (
Hist. of Greece, vol. i. p. 288), that we may infer from the rationalising tendency of the citation from it (Schol.
ad Theocr. 13.46; Schol.
ad Apollon. Rhod. i. 1207, 1236), that it was in prose.
