Peirene. The spring struck out by the winged steed Pegasus on the citadel of Corinth. It is also said to have sprung from Pirene, daughter of Oebalus, who melted into tears in sorrow for the loss of her son Cenchrias, accidentally slain by Artemis. It flowed from a rock in the Acrocorinthus, and was conveyed by subterranean conduits down the hill to a marble reservoir, from which the city received a great part of its watersupply.
