[1104] ὁ Κυλλάνας ἀνάσσων Hermes: HH 3.1 “Ἑρμῆν ὕμνει, Μοῦσα, Διὸς καὶ Μαιάδος υἱόν, ι Κυλλήνης μεδέοντα καὶ Ἀρκαδίης πολυμήλου”: Verg. Aen. 8.138 quem candida Maia | Cyllenes gelido conceptum vertice fudit. The peak of Cyllene （now Ziria）, about 7300 ft. high, in N. E. Arcadia, is visible from the Boeotian plain near Leuctra, where Cithaeron is on the south and Helicon to the west, with a glimpse of Parnassus behind it: see my Modern Greece, p. 77.
