| | Asopus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Asopus or Asôpos is the name of five different rivers in Greece and also in Greek mythology the name of the gods of those rivers. | | | Asopus cannot discover what has become of them until the seer Acraephen (otherwise unknown) tells him that Eros and Aphrodite persuaded the four gods to come secretly to his house and steal his nine daughters. | | | Pausanias (2.5.2) mentionins three supposed daughters of Phliasian Asopus named Corcyra, Aegina, and Thebe according to the Phliasians and further notes that the Thebans insist that this Thebe was daughter of the Boeotian Asopus. |

("Ao-w^os), the god of the river Asopus, was a son of Oceanus and Tethys, or according to others, of Poseidon and Pero, of Zeus and Eurynome, or lastly of Poseidon and Cegluse. | | | Asopus now revolted against Zeus, and wanted to fight with him, but Zeus struck him with his thunderbolt and confined him to his original bed. | | | 278.) Several of these daughters of Asopus were carried off by gods, which is commonly believed to indicate the colo nies established by the people inhabiting the banks of the Asopus, who also transferred the name of Asopus to other rivers in the countries where they settled. |

| | Further, by this approach the Immortals could not have crossed the Asopus before reaching the beginning of the path unless they were encamped east of the Asopus, in a rather narrow strip of land between Mt. Kallidromos and the sea. | | | Therefore, we interpret periothos to mean that the Persians had to take some kind of a detour from their encampment to the beginning of the path before commencing their ascent. | | | The Damasta Monastery and the Kastraki approaches begin in the northern foothills of Mt. Kallidromos, between the Asopus and the village of Koutseki, and ascend in a south-southeasterly direction, by different routes, across the north face of the mountain. |
