[20] Compare Hesiod Theog. 340-5, where all these rivers, excepting Karesos, are named among the offspring of Okeanos and Tethys. Aisepos, Skamandros, and Simoeis (v. 5.774, 6.4) are the only three which reappear in Homer. The Granikos is of course famous in later history, but those named in 20 are quite unknown.
