=== Land of the Bebryces === From Mysia, they departed to the land of the [[Bebryces]] which was ruled by King [[Amykos|Amycus]], son of Poseidon and [[Melia (mythology)|Melie]], a [[Bithynia]]n nymph. Being a doughty man, he compelled the strangers who came to his kingdom to contend with him in boxing and slew the vanquished. When he challenged the best man of the crew to a boxing match, Pollux fought against him and slew him with a blow on the elbow. When the Bebryces made a rush at him, the chiefs snatched up their arms and put them to flight with great slaughter.<ref>Apollodorus, 1.19.20; Hyginus, ''[[Fabulae]]'' [https://topostext.org/work/206#17 17]</ref> {{Wide image|File:Argonauterna, Nordisk familjebok.png|800|Drawing from an [[Etruscan civilization|Etruscan]] [[cista]] (340β330 BC) depicting the arrival of the Argonauts in the land of the Bebryces, with Pollux training at a punching bag (center) and leading to the punishment of Amycus (left); the bit of wing at top left shows how the scene would align continuously with the winged figure at right on the surface of the circular vessel}}
