Background

The ancient author Pausanias wrote that the river issues from the inner side of the embankment surrounding the city of Caphyae near lake Orchomenus, after which it descends into a chasm of the earth, issuing again at a place called Nasi (Νάσοι); and that the name of the village where it issues is named Rheunus (Ῥεῦνος).[1] Older names of the Tragus are Tara[1] and Daraiiko.[2]
