Virg. has identified Pithecusa or
Aenaria with the Homeric *)/arima (o)/rh),
which he calls Inarime, apparently mistaking
Il. 2. 783, ei)n *)ari/mois, o(/qi fasi\
*tufwe/os e)/mmenai eu)na/s. Homer's mountains
were variously identified, some placing
them in Cilicia, some in Mysia or Lydia,
some in Syria, while Strabo p. 626 C says
that others made them the same as Pithecusa,
referring perhaps to Virg. Pindar
Pyth. 1. 18 foll. had connected Typhoeus'
or Typhon's punishment with Aetus,
Pherecydes, cited by Schol. on Apoll. R. 2. 1210, with Pithecusa, so that the
transference of the Homeric name was
natural enough. For the identification
of Homeric localities with Italy and its
neighbourhood comp. 7. 10 note. Other
legends connected these islands specially
with Aeneas, Prochyta being named from
a kinswoman of his, Aenaria, the place
where his fleet landed. See Lewis, vol. 1,
pp. 324, 325. The form Inarime is
used not only by the poets but by Pliny

Pompey having had a whole year to complete his preparations, undisturbed by
wars, and free from the interruption of an enemy, had collected a mighty
fleet from Asia the Cyclades, Corcyra, Athens, Pontus, Bithynia, Syria, Cilicia, Phoenicia, and Eygpt, and had given orders
for the building of ships in all parts. He had exacted great sums from the
people of Asia and Syria; from the kings, tetrarchs, and
dynasties of those parts; from the free states of Achaia, and from the corporations of the
provinces subject to his command.

The founder of the temple, according to old
tradition, was king Aerias, though some represent this as the name of the
goddess herself. Later accounts tell us that the temple was consecrated by
Cinyras, and that the goddess herself after her birth from the sea was
wafted to this spot, but that the wisdom and craft of the diviners was a
foreign importation introduced by Tamiras of Cilicia; and that it was agreed that the descendants of
both families should preside over the worship. Afterwards, that the royal
family might not be without some superiority over the foreign stock, the
strangers relinquished the craft which they had themselves introduced. The
priest of the line of Cinyras is alone consulted. The victims are such as
each worshipper has vowed, but males are selected; the surest prognostics
are seen in the entrails of kids. It is forbidden to pour blood on the
altar; the place of sacrifice is served only with prayers and pure flame,
and though it stands in the open
