HEBRUS, in Ancient Geography, the largest river of Thrace, rising from Mount Scambrus; running in two channels till it comes to Philippopolis, where they unite. It empties itself at two mouths into the Ægean sea, to the north of Samothrace. It was supposed to roll its waters upon golden sands. The head of Orphe-
Hebrus us was thrown into it after it had been cut off by the
Hecaten- Giconian women.
