Orations
Mountain region associated with the boar Heracles overcame
nor did the boar about Erymanthus frighten him;
Odyssey
A mountain named alongside Taygetus as a hunting ground of Artemis in the same simile.
As the huntress Artemis goes forth upon the mountains of Taygetus or Erymanthus to hunt wild boars or deer, and the wood-nymphs, daughters of Aegis-bearing Zeus, take their sport along with her (then is Leto proud at seeing her daughter stand a full head taller than the others, and eclipse the loveliest amid a whole bevy of beauties), even so did the girl outshine her handmaids.
