Inăchus

Ἴναχος).


1.

A river of Argolis, flowing at the foot of the Acropolis of Argos, and emptying into the Bay of Nauplia. Its real source was in Mount Lyrceus, on the confines of Arcadia; but the poets, who delighted in fiction, imagined it to be a branch of the Inachus of Amphilochia, which, after mingling with the Acheloüs, passed under ground, and reappeared in Argolis.


2.

A river of the Amphilochian district in Acarnania.
