Ladon (river of Elis)


The Ladon, or Pineiakos Ladonas, to distinguish it from the river of the same name in Arcadia, is a river of Elis in Greece. It rises in the highlands to the south of Mount Erymanthus; it flows at first through a narrow ravine, and, anciently flowed into the Peneius, but now flows into the Pineios reservoir, a man-made lake created by the Peneus Dam. The river is called the Selleeis by Homer.
