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 Aegean sea, to the north of Samothrace. It was supposed to roll its waters upon golden sands. The head of Orphe- HECATE was thrown into it after it had been cut off by the Ciconian women.
