FTP, name this group of sorcerers who excel at craft-making.
These figures represent the critics of the poet Callimachus in his "Aitia" - where he says that they do not know how to rot their own liver, know nothing of poetry and hate the Muses. At one point, they use weapons like a giant fir tree, and a cornel with trunk and roots attached - when they join Dionysius in a war against the Indians. In some sources, they're led by Demonax, and Ovid claims that they mix sulphur with Stygian water to destroy plant and animal life. Sometimes given the names Lykos, Skelmis, and Damnameneus - they're often depicted with flippers and heads of dogs, and they hail from the island of Rhodes. Their magic created the sickle that castrated Saturn, and created the trident of Poseidon, but it's often said that they grew malignant and Zeus drowned them beneath the waves.
