	Greek Mythology: SCAMANDER / SKAMANDROS River God of the Troad in Mysia, Anatolia ( also Xanthos Xanthus )
		SKAMANDROS was a RIVER-GOD of the Troad, in Mysia, Anatolia (modern Turkey).
		The River Skamandros was the largest river of the plain of Troy.
		That country was ruled by a king, Teukros, son of the river Skamandros and of a Nymphe Idaia, and the inhabitants of the country were called Teukrians after Teukros.

	ILIAD: INTRODUCTION
		The forces under Agamemnon have now been on Trojan soil for 9 years, ready to board their ships, round the tip of Neriton which has kept them hidden from Trojan view, and launch a final assault on the Trojan mainland.
		It is easy to see the symbolism of a 9-month pregnancy and subsequent birth in the landing of a myriad men on the Skamandros delta, a territory once occupied by the Pygmies, but now held by the Ari(e)moi (a Trojan tribe).
		Thus, the Iliad occupies a period of 12 months, from the beginning to the end, a nice number for having a self-evident association with the 12 houses of the Zodiac.

		The limitations on his magic by nature and culture are represented by Skamandros and Aeneas, the two adversaries that Achilles can't defeat.
		Skamandros wants to bury Achilles to show that Achilles is not a god.
		Hephaistos' fire is the funeral pyre for the Trojan warriors who have been slain in the river, and it anticipates the cremations of Patroklos and Hektor.

		So the goddesses went their way with step like unto turtle-doves, being fain to bring succour to the men of Argos.
