VavKios, fern. Pav/cia,Steph. B. s. v.). From the story told about theCretan bees by Antenor in his Cretica (ap. A. xvii. 35; comp. Diodor. v. 70), it seems thatthere were two cities of this name in Crete. Theexistence of two places so called in the island mightgive rise to some such legend as that which he men-tions. Pashley (Crete, vol. i. p. 235) fixes the siteof one Rhaucus at Hdghio Myro, between Cnossusand Gortyna, and froin its proximity to Sit. Idainfers that it is the more ancient. [E. B.

RHEBAS (PTJgas), a veiy small river on thecoast of Bithynia, the length of which amounts onlyto a few miles; it flows into the Euxine, near theentrance of the Bosporus, north-east of Chalcedon,and still bears the name of Riva. (Scvlax, p. 341Dionys. Per. 794; Ptol. v. 1. § 5; An Ian, p. ; Marcian, p. 69; Phn. vi. 1; Steph. V.) This little river, which is otherwise of noimportance, owes its celebrity to the story of theArgonauts. (Orph. Arg. 711; Apollon. Rhod. , 789.) It also bore the names of Rhesaeusancl Rhesus (Plin. I. c; Solin. 43), the last ofwhich seems to have arisen from a confusion withthe Rhesus mentioned by Homer. PL S 1 RIIiyi>ONES.
