(anc. geog.) one of the islands called Cyclades, near Delos, under which the last of the Centaurs slain by Hercules are supposed to lie buried. Hence the proverb, Omnia sub unam Myconum congerere, applied to an injudicious or unnatural marriage. Myconii, the people, noted for baldness. Hence Myconius, a bald person. According to Strabo, the inhabitants became bald at the age of 20 or 25; and Pliny says, that the children were always born without hair. The island was poor, and the inhabitants very avaricious; whence Archiloche reproached a certain Pericles, that he came to a feast like a Myconian; that is, without previous invitation. Now called Mycone, an island in the Archipelago. E. Long. 25° 6'. Lat. 37°.
