Taenarum, named after one Taenarus, is the middle one of the three southern Peloponnesian extremities. In Taenarum was found one of the mouths of the descent to the Underworld; but some, disbelieving that the gods collect souls under the earth, have said that a serpent lived on Taenarum, called the hound of Hades because anyone bitten by this beast died of the poison at once. This is the so called hound, they say, that Heracles ₁ fetched in the Underworld, and not Cerberus ₁, the three-headed hound of Hades. Also Theseus and Pirithous descended to the Underworld throught the entrance at Taenarum, when the latter wished to marry Persephone. According to some it was at Taenarum that the citharist Arion ₂ landed after being thrown into the sea by pirates; and the statue of him that was placed there, they say, had the likeness of the dolphin that saved him by bringing him to the shore (see also Corinth). There was once a spring on Taenarum, which showed harbors and ships to those who looked into the water, until the day a woman, washing dirty clothes in the spring, put an end to the marvel [Apd.2.5.12; Arg.1.179, 3.1241; Hyg.Ast.17; Hyg.Fab.14, 79; Pau.3.14.2, 3.25.5, 3.25.8; Strab.13.2.4]

It is told that Lycastus ₂ fell in love with Eulimene ₂ and consorted with her though her father had already betrothed her to Apterus, who was at the time the most famous man among the Cretans. Eulimene ₂ was daughter of Cydon ₁, founder of Cydonia in Crete and son of Tegeates, son of impious Lycaon ₂. During the reign of Cydon ₁ several Cretan cities revolted against him and Cydon ₁ inquired of the oracle which course of action he could take in order to win the war. The oracle answered that he must sacrifice a virgin and the king, having let lots be cast upon all the virgins in his realm, was confronted with the fact that the fatal lot fell upon his own daughter. The girl's lover Lycastus ₂ then, wishing to save her life, confessed that Eulimene ₂ was no longer a virgin since he had made love to her. Nevertheless the assembly voted that she must die, and when she had been sacrificed Cydon ₁ ordered her belly to be cut through by the navel and when this had been done, she was found to be with child. When it became clear that Lycastus ₂ and Eulimene ₂ had been lovers, Apterus, feeling outraged, laid an ambush and murdered Lycastus ₂, and for that reason he was sent into exile to Termera [Parth.35; Strab.14.2.18.].
