According to Greek Mythology, Pamisos was the younger brother of the river Pinios and the two together were the water-bearing children of Zeus, which is why they were worshiped as minor deities.The ancients imagined Pamisos as a Bull, whose nostrils were his springs from which his water gushed forth. With the name Pamisos there are four more rivers in Greece. The Thessalian Pamisos is the only one that has five names: Pamisos, Bliouris, Pollis, Monokeros and Kuralios. A similar river name also exists in Messinia with many similarities in history, worship and properties. It has been transferred and given there from Thessaly or from the descent of the Pelasgians to Messinia, at which time various words were adopted, mainly names of mountains (Ithomi) and rivers (Pamisos). 

  Manure had accumulated in the huge stables of the king of Elis, Augeas with his 3,000 oxen, as they had not been cleaned for many years. Clearing these stables of all the dung in a single day was the fifth labor of Hercules. The hero cleared away the dung by digging two ditches in the foundations of the stables and directing through them the waters of Pineus and Alpheus towards the stables. The waters of these two rivers (according to others only the Pinios) carried away all the manure. 

  On the occasion of International Women's Day (8/3), we mentioned the rivers that have feminine names.

  Neda is the largest Greek river with a feminine name. It is located on the border of the prefectures of Ilia and Messinia. It flows into the Ionian Sea. According to mythology, when Rhea gave birth to Zeus, she entrusted his upbringing to the nymph Neda. Neda transformed into a river and her long braids of hair became its 3 waterfalls ending in natural pools of turquoise water.

  Erkyna is the female river in the region of Livadia. Among its waters, the bust of the nymph Hercyna emerges on a rock. According to mythology, Hercyna and her friend Persephone were playing with a goose in the grove of Trophonius. The goose moved away and hid in a cave. To catch her, Persephone moved the stone that was at the entrance and then a rush of water poured out. In the area of the springs, the oracle of Trofonios Dios operated in antiquity. Visitors had to bathe for days in the waters of the Hercyna River and then offer sacrifices to the gods. Dressed in tunics, they first drank the water of Forgetfulness to forget what they had in mind and then the water of Memory to remember what they would hear in the oracle.

  Arapitsa, the female river of Naoussa, owes its name to the dark hue of its waters. On its banks there was in ancient times the school of Aristotle, where the great philosopher taught Alexander the Great.

  Other female rivers of the Greek peninsula are the Ziliana in Southern Pieria and the Ermitsa in Etoloakarnania.

  As Vassilis Amanatidis says in his book "Female Rivers": "Near us there have always been and still are real rivers. The anonymous women of the world, the sources of life, who are not lost in the vast sea, but feed back its eternal movement".
