The Halizones Homeric Greek Greek , also Halizonians or Alazones are an obscure people that appear in Homer s Iliad as allies of Troy during the Trojan War . Their leaders were Odius and Epistrophus , said in the Bibliotheca Pseudo Apollodorus Bibliotheca to be sons of a man named Mecisteus. According to Homer, the Halizones came from Alybe far away, where is the birth place of silver,... Strabo in his Geography speculates that Alybe far away may originally have read as Chalybe far away , and he suggests that the Halizones may have been Chalybes , as well as Khaldi . There has been much speculation since as to the origin of the name Halizones , with connections to both Amazons and the River Halys both suggested. It is not even clear that the Halizones ever existed, or even if Homer knew they existed. Homer s scholiast derived the name from hals , sea, explaining that they lived in a land surrounded by the sea. However he stated elsewhere that Odius was chief of the Paphlagonians . Herodotus 4.17, 52 placed the Halizones among the Scythians in the region of modern Vinnytsia Ukraine, while Ephorus , equating them with Amazons, located them near Cyme Aeolis Cyme in Asia Minor. A later scholiast to Homer calls them a Thracian tribe. ref http books.google.com books?id Mwpyc QmhnwC&pg PA74&dq halizones The Greek Colonization of the Black Sea p. 74 ref Meanwhile, Pliny the Elder , Hecataeus of Miletus , Menecrates of Elaea, and Palaephatus placed the Halizones or Alazones in Mysia .

A cyathium plural cyathia is one of the specialised Pseudanthium pseudanthia false flowers forming the inflorescence of plants in the genus Euphorbia Euphorbiaceae . A cyathium consists of Five rarely four bracteoles. These are small, united bract s, which form a cup like involucre. Their upper tips are free and in the beginning cover the opening of the involucre like the shutter of a camera . These alternate with Five 1 to 10 nectar gland s, which are sometimes fused. One extremely reduced female flower standing in the centre at the base of the involucre, consisting of an ovary plants ovary on a short stem with pistil , and surrounded by Five groups one group at the base of each bracteole of extremely reduced male flowers, which each consist of a single anther on a stem. The flower like characteristics of the cyathia are underlined by brightly coloured nectar glands and often by petal like appendages to the nectar glands, or brightly coloured, petal like bracts positioned under the cyathia. The paired petal like bracts in the sub family Euphorbia section Goniostema are called cyathophylls . The cyathia are sometimes solitary, but are usually in Cyme botany cymes , inflorescences of the second order, in pseudumbels, on dichotomously branched stalks or in so called simple cymes which consist of one central and two lateral cyathia. In one group of Madagascan species in the sub family Euphorbia section Goniostema E. aueoviridiflora , E. capmanambatoensis , E. iharanae , E. leuconeura , E. neohumbertii , E. viguieri there is a tendency for a further pseudanthium to grow from the cyme.
