From Skamandros
The Skamandros (Ancient Greek: Σκάμανδρος), in Latin Scamander, is a river in northwestern Turkey. The modern name for the river is Menderes. The river is called in the Ilias and is personified by the same river god. The river ran south and west of Troy and expelled northwest of Troje, where the Hellespont or Dardanelles pour into the Aegean Sea.
The River God Skamandros fought on the side of Trojans, after the Greeks made a massacre on their banks. Skamandros then made his complaint with Apollo and Liquid with Achilles, just to be evaporated by Hephaistos, by order of Athena, Achilles' guardian angel ".
By the gods was called Skamandros Xanthos, "blonde" (Ilias 20.74).
During the campaign of the Persian king Xerxes against Greece (480 BC), the river was too small to teach all Persian soldiers (Herodotus, Histories, 7.43).
