== Mythology == Bremusa was killed outside of Troy by Idomeneus of Crete.<ref>Quintus Smyrnaeus, ''Posthomerica'' 1.247</ref><blockquote>"Then with his lance Idomeneus thrust out, and by the right breast stabbed Bremusa. Stilled for ever was the beating of her heart. She fell, as falls a graceful-shafted pine hewn mid the hills by woodmen: heavily, sighing through all its boughs, it crashes down. So with a wailing shriek she fell, and death unstrung her every limb: her breathing soul mingled with multitudinous-sighing winds."<ref>Quintus Smyrnaeus, ''Posthomerica'' 1.247-253</ref></blockquote>
