The mountain is also mentioned by [[Diodorus Siculus]] as Mēros ({{lang|grc|Μηρός}}) and ascribes to [[Dionysus]] events related in Indian mythology, trying to use this as explanation as to why the Greeks had come to say Dionysus was born out of a thigh (whose word in Ancient Greek is indeed {{lang|grc|μηρός}}).<ref>https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Diodorus_Siculus/2B*.html#ref11</ref>
