Asi Nehri : ウィキペディア英語版
Orontes River

The Orontes (; Ὀρόντης) or Asi ((アラビア語:العاصي), ''‘Āṣī''; (トルコ語:Asi)) is a northward flowing river starting in Lebanon and flowing through Syria and Turkey before entering the Mediterranean Sea.
It was anciently the chief river of the Levant, The modern name ''‘Āṣī'' means ("rebel"), because the river flows from the south to the north unlike the rest of the rivers in the region.
==Name==
For the Assyrians, the river was named Arantu in the 9th century BC while the Egyptians named it Araunti; the etymology of the name is unknown. The Arantu became "Orontes" in Greek but the Macedonian settlers in Apamea named it the Axius; the Arabic name "Asi" was derived from the "Axius" rather than the older name.
Strabo tells a story about the river; its original name was Typhon then became the Orontes when a man named Orontes built a bridge on it.〔 According to Strabo, Zeus forced the dragon Typhon out the sky by hitting him with a thunderbolt and the fall of the monster created the river bed of the Orontes. The story of Strabo is apparently of Phoenician or Egyptian origin instead of Greek.
