Note 366 — CANES VENATICI. Class I.
William Dansey translation
Pheræ was situate between Demetrias and Pharsalus in Thessaly, near the lake Bœbe—ὑπὸ σκοπιὴν ὄρεος Χαλκωδονίοιο.Apollon. Rhod. L. i. vs. 50. I am not aware of the dogs of these several places being mentioned by any other author. Pheræ was probably celebrated for its breed of game; for, being one of the many haunts of Dian, it bestowed on the Goddess the local name of Pheræa:
Callimach. H. in Dian. vs. 259.
Πότνια, μουνυχίη, λιμενοσκόπε, χαίρε, Φεραίη.
