…The main events of the journey are usually said to be his long stay at Lemnos, an island of women, where he was welcomed, his long stay there, his companion Hylas being kidnapped by a nymph in Mysia, and Hercules' interruption of the expedition to search for him, and his overcoming the difficult challenge of the Symphregades (meaning "striking rocks") at the entrance to the Black Sea with the advice of the prophet Phineus.
