ΚΗΦΙΣΟΣ (Ποταμός) ΒΟΙΩΤΙΑ
A celebrated river of Greece, that rises at the foot of Parnassus,
close to Lilaea, and, after traversing the plains of Phocis and part of the Boeotian
territory, empties into the Copaic Lake in the latter country. Hesiod compares
it to a serpent, from the many sinuosities of its course. The modern name is Mauro
Potamo. According to the poets, the son of the river-god Cephissus introduced
the worship of the Graces into Boeotia, and hence the peculiar attachment which
they were said to have for the waters of this stream.
