The rest of the Athenian fleet took refuge in the harbour called Phoenicus, under Mount MIMAS, and from thence afterwards put into Lesbos and prepared for the work of fortification.
"The History of the Peloponnesian War"
Thucydides
Clouds, whom I adore, come and show yourselves to this man, whether you be resting on the sacred summits of Olympus, crowned with hoar-frost, or tarrying in the gardens of Ocean, your father, forming sacred choruses with the Nymphs; whether you be gathering the waves of the Nile in golden vases or dwelling in the Maeotic marsh or on the snowy rocks of MIMAS, hearken to my prayer and accept my offering.
"The Eleven Comedies"
Aristophanes et al
Whether ye are sitting upon the sacred snow-covered summits of Olympus, or in the gardens of Father Ocean form a sacred dance with the Nymphs, or draw in golden pitchers the streams of the waters of the Nile, or inhabit the Maeotic lake, or the snowy rock of MIMAS, hearken to our prayer, and receive the sacrifice, and be propitious to the sacred rites.
"The Clouds"
Aristophanes
