Απριατη

The girl without price, a heroine of Lesbos, who was loved by Trambelus, the son of Telamon, but did not return his love. The young man loved her so desperately that he decided to abduct her while she was walking with her attendants in an estate which belonged to her father. The girl put up a fight so Trambelus threw her into the sea. Some say that she threw herself in, but anyway she was drowned. Soon afterwards heaven punished Trambelus.
