AGANIPPE

Volume 1 · 52 words · 1815 Edition

in antiquity, a fountain of Boeotia, at Mount Helicon, on the borders between Phocis and Boeotia, sacred to the Muses, and running into the river Permessus; (Pliny, Pausanias.) Ovid seems to make Aganippe Aganippe and Hippocrene the same. Serenus more truly distinguishes them, and ascribes the blending of them to poetical license.
