EPITALION (Ancient city) ILIA
The Alpheius, after receiving the waters of the Ladon, the Erymanthus,
and other rivers of less significance, flows through Phrixa, Pisatis, and Triphylia
past Olympia itself to the Sicilian Sea, into which it empties between Pheia and
Epitalium. Near the outlet of the river is the sacred precinct of Artemis Alpheionia
or Alpheiusa (for the epithet is spelled both ways), which is about eighty stadia
distant from Olympia (Strab. 8.3.12).
