ΟΙΝΟΥΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΟΙΝΟΥΝΤΑΣ
Oinous: Eth. Oinountios. A small town in Laconia, celebrated for its
wine, from which the river Oenus, a tributary of the Eurotas, appears to have
derived its name. From its being described by Athenaeus as near Pitane, one of
the divisions of Sparta, it was probably situated near the junction of the Oenus
and the Eurotas. (Steph. B. s. v.; Athen. i. p. 31.) The river Oenus, now called
Kelefina, rises in the watershed of Mt. Parnon, and, after flowing in a general
south-westerly direction, falls into the Eurotas, at the distance of little more
than a mile from Sparta. (Polyb. ii. 65, 66; Liv. xxxiv. 28.) The principal tributary
of the Oenus was the Gorgylus (Gorgulos, Polyb. ii. 66), probably the river of
Vrestena.
