Evēnus

（Εὔηνος).

1.

A river of Aetolia, rising in Mount Oeta, and flowing into the sea, 120 stadia west of Antirrhium. It derived its name from Evenus, the father of Marpessa, who was carried off by Idas, the son of Aphareus; and Evenus, being unable to overtake the latter, threw himself into the river, which was henceforth called after him.

2.

A river of Mysia, falling into the Sinus Elaïticus near Pitané.

Everriculum. (Fresco in the Palace of Titus, Rome.)
