====Other==== *'''Boedromius''' ({{lang|grc|Βοηδρόμιος}}), was a surname of Apollo in Athens, with varying explanations for its origin. Some claim that the reason the god was given this name was because he had helped the Athenians overcome the Amazons in their battle, which took place on the seventh of [[Boedromion]], the day the [[Boedromia]] were later commemorated. Others claim that the term originated from the fact that, in the battle between Eumolpus and Erechtheus and Ion, Apollo had counselled the Athenians to charge the enemy with a war cry (Βοή) if they were going to win.<ref>[https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0104%3Aalphabetic+letter%3DB%3Aentry+group%3D7%3Aentry%3Dboedromius-bio-1 A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology, Boedromius]</ref>
