Literature | Alpheos and Arethu sa The Greek fable says that Alpheos, the river-god, fell in love with the nymph Arethusa, who fled from him in affright. The god pursued under the sea, but the nymph was changed into a spring, which comes up in the harbour of Syracuse. "We have seen a moustachioed Alpheos, at Ramsgate, pursue an affrighted Arethusa." - London Review. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
