an interesting passage from Strabo too ( Bokk 13):
[17] As for "the mountain of Tereia,"82 some say that it is the range of
mountains in Peirossus which are occupied by the Cyziceni and are
adjacent to Zeleia, where a royal hunting ground was arranged by the
Lydians, and later by the Persians;83 but others point out a hill forty
stadia from Lampsacus, on which there is a temple sacred to the mother
of the gods, entitled "Tereia's" temple.
82 The mountain mentioned in the Hom. Il. 2.829.
Question: what mentions Homer in Il. 2.829?
