Scamander
Scamander (Skamandros: Mendere Su, or the river of Bunarbaschi), a
famous little stream in the plain of Troy, which according to Homer (II. xx. 74)
was called Xanthus by the gods and Scamander by men; though it probably owed the
name Xanthus to the yellow or brownish colour of its water (comp. Il. vi. 4, xxi.
8). Notwithstanding this distinct declaration of the poet that the two names belonged
to the same river, Pliny (v. 33) mentions the Xanthus and Scamander as two distinct
rivers, and describes the former as flowing into the Portus Achaeorum, after having
joined the Simoeis. In regard to the colour of the water, it was believed to have
even the power of dyeing the wool of sheep which drank of it. (Aristot. Hist.
Anim. iii. 12; Aelian, Hist. Anim. viii. 21; Plin. ii. 106; Vitruv. viii. 3,14.)
Homer (Il. xxii. 147, &c.) states that the river had two sources close to the
city of Ilion, one sending forth hot water and the other cold, and that near these
springs the Trojan women used to wash their clothes. Strabo (xiii. p. 602) remarks
that in his time no hot spring existed in those districts; he further asserts
that the river had only one source; that this was far away from Troy in Mount
Ida; and lastly that the notion of its rising near Troy arose from the circumstance
of its flowing for some time under ground and reappearing in the neighbourhood
of Ilion. Homer describes the Scamander as a large and deep river (Il. xx. 73,
xxi. 15, xxii. 148), and states that the Sirmoeis flowed into the Scamander, which
after the junction still retained the name of Scamander (Il. v. 774, xxi. 124;
comp. Plin. ii. 106; Herod. v. 65; Strab. xiii. p. 595). Although Homer describes
the river as large and deep, Herodotus (vii.42) states that its waters were not
sufficient to afford drink to the army of Xerxes. The Scamander after being joined
by the Simoeis has still a course of about 20 stadia eastward, before it reaches
the sea, on the east of Cape Sigeum, the modern Kum Kale. Ptolemy (v. 2. § 3),
and apparently Pomp. Mela (i. 18), assign to each river its own mouth, the Siinoeis
discharging itself into the sea at a point north of the mouth of the Scamander.
To account for these discrepancies, it must be assumed that even at that time
the physical changes in the aspect of the country arising from the muddy deposits
of the Scamander had produced these effects, or else that Ptolemy mistook a canal
for the Scamander. Even in the time of Strabo the Scamander reached the sea only
at those seasons when it was swollen byrains, and at other times it was lost in
marshes and sand. It was from this circumstance, that, even before its junction
with the Simoeis, a canal was dug, which flowed in a western direction into the
sea, south of Sigeum, so that the two rivers joined each other only at times when
their waters were high. Pliny, who calls the Scamander a navigable river, is in
all probability thinking of the same canal, which is still navigable for small
barges. The point at which the two rivers reach the sea is now greatly changed,
for owing to the deposits at the mouth, the coast has made great advances into
the sea, and the Portus Achaeorum, probably a considerable bay, has altogether
disappeared. (Comp. Leake, Asia Minor, p. 289, foll., and the various works and
treatises on the site and plain of ancient Troy.) This text is from: Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography (1854) (ed. William Smith, LLD). Cited September 2004 from The Perseus Project URL below, which contains interesting hyperlinks

(2) The celebrated river of the Troad. As a mythological personage, the river-god was called Xanthus by the gods. His contest with Achilles is described by Homer.

Xanthus
Xanthus (Xanthos), an important river in the W. of Lycia, which is
mentioned even in Homer (Il. ii. 877, v. 479), and which, according to Strabo
(xiv. p. 665), was anciently called Sirbes, that is in Phoenician and Arabic reddish
yellow, so that the Greek name Xanthus is only a translation of the Semitic Sirbes
or Zirba. The Xanthus has its sources in Mount Taurus, on the frontiers between
Lycia and Pisidia, and flows as a navigable river in a SW. direction through an
extensive plain (Xanthou pedion, Herod. i. 176), having Mount Bragus on the W.
and Massicytes on the E., towards the sea, into which it discharges itself about
70 stadia S. of the city of Xanthus, and a little to the NW. of Pinara. (Herod.
l. c.; Ptol. v. 3. § 2; Dion. Per. 848; Ov. Met. ix. 645; Mela, i. 15; Plin. v.
28.) Now the Etshen or Essenide. (Fellows, Lycia, pp. 123, 278.) This text is from: Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography (1854) (ed. William Smith, LLD). Cited September 2004 from The Perseus Project URL below, which contains interesting hyperlinks

Ακρωτήρια
Lectum
Lectum (to Lekton), a promontory in the south-west of Troas, opposite
the island of Lesbos. It forms the south-western termination of Mount Ida. (Hom.
Il. xiv. 294; Herod. ix. 114; Thucyd. viii. 101; Ptol. v. 2. § 4; Plin. v. 32;
Liv. xxxvii. 37.) In the time of Strabo (xiii. p. 605, comp. p. 583) there was
shown on Cape Lectum an altar, said to have been erected by Agamemnon to the twelve
great gods; but this very number is a proof of the late origin of the altar. Under
the Byzantine emperors, Lectum was the northernmost point of the province of Asia.
(Hierocl. p. 659.) Athenaeus (iii. p. 88) states that the purple shell-fish, found
near Lectum as well as near Sigeum, was of a large size. The modern name of Lectum
is Baba, or Santa Maria. This text is from: Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography (1854) (ed. William Smith, LLD). Cited August 2004 from The Perseus Project URL below, which contains interesting hyperlinks
