[]RHAOCUS (PafKos, ScyLp. 19; Polyb. § 1, xxxiii. 15. § 1 : Eth. PavKios. ban. Pavxia,B. 8. P.). Prom 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 Ecighio Myro, between Cnossusand Gortyna, and from its proximity to Mt. Idainfers that it is the more ancient. [E. B. J.] RHEGIUM. 703. COIN OF RHAUCUS. RHEBAS (PVjgas), a very small river on thecoast ofBithynia, 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 Jiiva. (Scylax, p. 34;Dionys. Per. 794; Ptol. v. 1. § 5; Arrian, p. 13; Marcian, p. 69; 1; Steph. ) This little river, which is otherwise of noimportance, owes its celebrity to the story of theArgonauts. (Orph. Arc/. 711; Apollon. Rhod. , 789.) It also bore the names of Rhesaeusand Rhesus (Plin. I. c; Solin. 43), the last ofwhich seems to have arisen from a confusion withtiie Rhesus mentioned by Homer. [L. S.] RHElx )NES. [Rbdohes.] RHEGILM CP-nyiov : Eth.
