lamiales: When Apollo saw this Amazonian woman tear a lion apart with her bare hands, he grew so excited that he did not rape her, but decided to marry her. He took her to Libya, which he gave her as a bridal gift. Her name was given to a spring where young women bathed before their wedding ceremonies. Cyrene became the mother of the hero Bellerophon, who tamed Medusa’s horse son Pegasus.
