 Ovid's claim that he is reporting a well-established tradition appears to be borne out by the versions recorded by Strabo and Dionysius of Halicarnassus as well as other no longer extant sources.Nevertheless, these variants do provide details not in Ovid.Among these was the legend that Myscelus was assisted in founding a colony at Crotona by Archias, the future founder of the Greek colony at Syracuse on Sicily.
