O'nasus(Ὄνασος), the author of a work
on the Amazons, entitled
Ἀμαζονίς or
Ἀμαζονικά, which was supposed by Heyne (
ad
Apollod. 2.5.9) and others to have been an epic poem; but it has been observed by
Welcker (
Epische Cyclus, p. 320) and Grote (
Hist. of
Greece, vol. i. p. 288), that we may infer from the rationalising tendency of the
citation from it (Schol.
ad Theocr. 13.46; Schol.
ad
Apollon. Rhod. i. 1207, 1236), that it was in prose.
