Strabone (14. 6. 3) testimone di poesia ellenistica: il caso di Edilo e delle cerve sacre ad Apollo (SH 459)

Abstract

The uncertain quotation of Strabo 14. 6. 3 (= 683c), especially for vv. 3.4,
reveals that the geographical mistake ascribed to Hedylus (SH 495) could be a misunderstanding
of the imperial author. The Hellenistic poet probably refers not to
Corycus, in the region of Cilicia, as Strabo argues, but to the Corycian cave, a place
sacred to Apollo and located in Central Greece on mount Parnassus.
