What do Dionysia and Hesperaloe have in common?
Dionysia (plant) Dionysia is a genus containing 49 species of flowering plants in the family Primulaceae. They are small, cushion-forming alpines native to mountains in central Asia. They are usually evergreen perennials with felted leaves, covered with bright yellow or pink, five-petalled flowers in spring. They are often difficult to cultivate if the correct conditions are not provided.
Thrinacia Thrinakia (Ancient Greek: Θρινακία , ] ), also called Trinacria or Tarnationus, is the island home of Helios's cattle in Book XII of Homer's "Odyssey", guarded by Helios' eldest daughter, Lampetia. It is sometimes said to have been Sicily, since the name "Thrinacia" could be taken to imply a connection to the number three (Greek "treis, tria" sounds vaguely similar to Thri-) and Sicily has three corners (cf. Trinacria, an alternate name for Sicily). However, the island is also associated with Malta, and that Sicily is often identified with the episode of the Cyclopes only serves to underscore the shaky footing any geographer is on when trying to identify Homer's locations.
