	Thoas
		Thoas, who received from his uncle Rhadamanthys the island of Lemnos (situated in the northern part of the Aegean Sea) became the king of this island.
		The name Thoas is derived from the old Greek word thoazo, which means "to move quickly, to hurry up or to hasten." This name is a perfect fit for some of the situations in which this king of Lemnos appeared, especially when he had to move quickly or hurry from one place to another.
		Thoas was also one of three Athenian brothers who took a part in the expedition that Theseus made to the land of the Amazons.

		A son of Borysthenes, and king of Tauris, into whose dominions Iphigenia was carried by Artemis, when she was to have been sacrificed.
		But circumstances now caused Antiochus to lend a more favourable ear to his overtures, and having repaired in person to join the king in Asia, he obtained great influence over his mind, and, by his magniloquent promises, was mainly instrumental in persuading him to pass over in person with his army into Greece.
		After the defeat of the Syrian monarch the Romans made the surrender of Thoas one of the conditions of tthe peace which they granted him : but though this demand was complied with, they were induced to set him at liberty at the intercession of Nicander and Pantaleon.

		Thoas was almost desperate to purchase the girl, and Meltinias will live well on the sale for months to come.

		And be this law establish'd; when the feast For thy deliverance from this shrine is held, To a man's throat that they apply the sword, And draw the blood, in memory of these rites, That of her honours naught the goddess lose.
		These Grecian dames back to their country lead, I charge thee; justice this return demands, For I saved thee, when on the mount of Mars The votes were equal; and from that decree The shells in number equal still absolve.
