(Nicander and Scholiast); a town of Thessaly, situate in a flowery part of mount Pelios; and hence the appellation throna, signifying flowers. Pelethronii, the people, (Virgil); the Lapi- thæ so called, who first broke horses. Lucan says the Centaurs were natives of that place; to whom Vir- gil assigns mount Othrys. Most authors, however, attribute the breaking of horses to the Centaurs. Some make the Lapithæ and Centaurs the same; others a different people; allowed however to be both of Thes- saly. Their story is greatly involved in fable.
