Page "Pyrenees" Paragraph 4
from
Wikipedia
After his victory over Geryon, Hercules passes through the kingdom of Bebryx again, finding the girl's lacerated remains.
As is often the case in stories of this hero, the sober Hercules responds with heartbroken grief and remorse at the actions of his darker self, and lays Pyrene to rest tenderly, demanding that the surrounding geography join in mourning and preserve her name: " struck by Herculean voice, the mountaintops shudder at the ridges ; he kept crying out with a sorrowful noise ' Pyrene!
' and all the rock-cliffs and wild-beast haunts echo back ' Pyrene!
' … The mountains hold on to the wept-over name through the ages.
" Pliny the Elder connects the story of Hercules and Pyrene to Lusitania, but rejects it as fabulosa, highly fictional.
