 Presumably this is the same land where, according to Hesiod, Typhon's mate Echidna keeps guard "in Arima" ("εἰν Ἀρίμοισιν").But neither Homer nor Hesiod say anything more about where these Arimoi or this Arima might be.The question of whether an historical place was meant, and its possible location, has been, since ancient times, the subject of speculation and debate.
