Where was Daphnis born?

[edit]

I understand we are talking about mythology here and NOT history but according to the theoi project Daphni was born in the Heraia mountains [Diodorus Siculus, Library of History 4. 84. 1 - 4 (trans. Oldfather) (Greek historian C1st B.C.)].
Where are these "Heraia mountains" located, though?
Some believe they belong to the Hybla Heraea mountains... some believe Diodorus Siculus (60-c.30 BCE) was referring himself to the Erean Mountains.
Comments are welcome.
