Penēus

(Πηνειός). (1) Now the Salambria; the principal river in Thessaly, rising in Mount Lacmon; after receiving the waters of the Enipeus, Lethaeus, and Titaresius rivers, it passes through the Vale of Tempé between Mounts Ossa and Olympus, and empties into the sea. (See Tempe.) The rivergod Peneus was the son of Oceanus and Tethys (Hes. Theog. 343). By the Naiad Creüsa he became the father of Hypseus, Stilbé, and Daphné. He was also the father (by some called the husband) of Cyrené.

(2) Now the Gastuni, a river of Elis.
