Name Various etymologies were proposed by the ancients about the origin of the name of the region's inhabitants, the ''Ozolai'' (). Some derived it from the Greek verb (''ozein'') which means "to smell". According to Strabo, this version could be explained by the stench arising from a spring at the foot of Mount Taphiassus, beneath which Nessus and other centaurs had been buried, while according to Plutarch, that was due to the asphodel which scented the air. For the first of these two versions, Pausanias said that, as he had heard, Nessus, ferrying on Evenus, was wounded by Heracles but not killed ...
