This is a second part of "Named" polls. After the previous Pink Floyd poll (http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=86286&PN=1) we have the Genesis one.

The Fountain of Salmacis. I think this will be the obvious winner.

Lilywhite Lilith (great way to start the second disc or side 3 of the old vinyl) just beats The Lamia - another classic for me.
 
Not too fussed about the others - though I do like Steve's guitar break in The fountain.

The Fountain of Salamacis was the first Genesis track I heard (on the compilation "Charisma keyboards) and it led to a lifelong love of the band's early material.
 
Great track!

Lamia is some kind of creature. We don't know the name of this particular Lamia.  So it shouldnt be included.. 
 
Otherwise you could include "All in a mouse's night" too...

Lamia is a daemon from the Greek mythology, a queen-turned-daemon. In "The Lamb" it is three vermilion snakes for some reason. It's interesting that Peter mentioned Lamia because in a way it kind of makes sense: LAMia, LAMb.

Oh, well. Sorry for the digression. Tongue

Depends what lamia is being referred too. Gabriel is referring to the creature lamia and not the Queen Lamia. Otherwise the song would be called "Lamia" and not "The Lamia"
