DA´MALIS
DA´MALIS (
Δάμαλις), seems to be the point near Chrysopolis [
CHRYSOPOLIS] named Bus or Bous (
Βοῦς) by Polybius (
4.43). Here, according to the legend, Io landed when she crossed the strait.
It was also called Damalis, or the heifer, and Arrian, quoted by Eustathius (
Eustath. ad Dionys. Per. 140) has a story about it.
