[828] These towns lie at the extreme N. of the Troad, where the Hellespont opens out into the Sea of Marmora. Pityeia is possibly the later Lampsakos. Adrasteia was a local goddess = Nemesis, and Adrastos perhaps originally a god identical with the Adrastos of Sikyon (see note on 572). It is certainly curious that he should appear here with Amphios, apparently a short form of Amphiaraos, so closely bound up with Adrastos in the Theban legend. Amphios of Paisos or Apaisos is in 5.612 son of Selagos. For λινοθώρηξ see 529.
