the sepulchre of Proteus, with a temple, at which Alexander sacrificed, (Arian); situated at the south extremity of the Hellespont, near the Chersonesus Thracia. Proteus was the first Greek who landed on the coast of Troy, and the first Greek slain by the Trojans, (Homer, Ovid). His wife Laodamia, to affluence her grief, begged the gods for a sight of his shade; and obtaining her request, she expired in his embraces, (Hyginus). Proteus was also called Phylacides, from Phylace, a town of Thessaly.
