	Amphion 1, Greek Mythology Link.
		Lycus 5 and his new wife Dirce, daughter either of the river god Achelous, or of Ismenus 1, after whom the river near Thebes is called, imprisoned then Antiope 3 and treated her spitefully.
		Sometimes it is said that she was married to Lycus 5 and that Epopeus 1 abducted her; at other times, she is said to have left Thebes when her father threatened her because of her pregnancy.
		Thus she is said to have consorted with Lycus 5, with Zeus, with Epopeus 1, and finally with Phocus 4.

		However, I shall argue that the treatment and characterization of the pimp Lycus connects and unifies the disparate sections of the play's complicated plots, and that the complications and confusions associated with the pimp's character are intentional.
		Lycus' fair and respectable handling of the recognition implies that there is far more substance to the pimp's character than first impressions and audience expectations would permit.
		From this analysis of the role of Lycus within the complicated plot of Poenulus and the way in which his character's presence ties together the various subplots, I shall argue that the allegedly-flawed construction of Poenulus is quite intentional.

		So Lycus 5, repeating his brother's expedition against Sicyon, marched with an army against the city, conquered it, and having killed Epopeus 1, led Antiope 3 away captive.
		Some affirm that Antiope 3, before being abducted by Epopeus 1, was Lycus 5's wife, and that before she was taken back to Thebes she had given birth to twins who were not the sons of Epopeus 1 but Zeus' children, as the god had approached her in the form of a Satyr.
		Lycus 5 is known, among other things, for having waged war against Sicyon.

		The proposed cliff faces toward the smooth plains, and thus it was suggested that this might be the kind of cliff that forms from erosion by waves in a body of water as they break against a coastline.
		In this subframe of MOC image SPO1-225/03, Amazonis and Lycus Sulci are separated by a subtle rise that runs diagnonally across the scene from near the lower left toward the upper right.
		The Lycus Sulci uplands here are more roughly-textured than in the previous image, and the flat Amazonis plains appear to be more smooth and lack the small parallel ridges seen in the earlier view.

		A legend connected with an inundation was the ground of erecting a church to the archangel Michael near a chasm, probably the one noticed by Herodotus.
		The calcareous deposits on the plants, and obstructions which the stream met with, gradually formed a natural arch, beneath which the current flowed as Herodotus describes; the soft crust was probably broken up by an earthquake.
		Although Colosse was increasingly overshadowed by Laodicea and Hierapolis, it retained considerable importance into the second and third centuries A.D. Later, the population of Colosse moved to Chonai (modern Honaz), three miles to the south.

	Plutarch : ALEXANDER - A lycus should conduct him into Persia
		The reason of which, they say, is that in dyeing the purple they made use of honey, and of white oil in the white tincture, both which after the like space of time preserve the clearness and brightness of their luster.
		Alexander, however, chanced to find a guide in exact correspondence with what the Pythia had foretold when he was a child, that a lycus should conduct him into Persia.
		For by such an one, whose father was a Lycian, and his mother a Persian, and who spoke both languages, he was now led into the country, by a way something about, yet without fetching any considerable compass.

		It is probable that he embarked on his way to Rome at Seleucia, in Syria, the nearest port to Antioch, for either Tarsus in Cilicia, or Attalia in Pamphylia, and thence, as we gather from his letters, he journeyed overland through Asia Minor.
		At Laodicea, on the River Lycus, where a choice of routes presented itself, his guards selected the more northerly, which brought the prospective martyr through Philadelphia and Sardis, and finally to Smyrna, where Polycarp, his fellow-disciple in the school of St. John, was bishop.
		The stay at Smyrna, which was a protracted one, gave the representatives of the various Christian communities in Asia Minor an opportunity of greeting the illustrious prisoner, and offering him the homage of the Churches they represented.
