River Pleistos : ウィキペディア英語版 | Pleistos
The Pleistos ((ギリシア語:Πλειστος), (ラテン語:Pleistus)) is a river in central Greece. It rises at Mount Parnassos near the town Arachova, Boeotia. It flows west through a deep valley, passing south of Delphi, and flows into the Corinthian Gulf near Kirra. Solon of Athens is said to have used hellebore roots to poison the water in an aqueduct leading from the River Pleistos around 590 BC during the siege of Kirrha.〔Adrienne Mayor, "Greek Fire, Poison Arrows & Scorpion Bombs: Biological and Chemical Warfare in the Ancient World" Overlook-Duckworth, 2003, rev ed with new Introduction 2008〕 The river Pleistos was also mentioned by the ancient geographers Strabo〔Strabo, ''Geographica'', Book IX, Chapter 3〕 and Pausanias.〔Pausanias, ''Description of Greece'' 10.8.8〕 There is a hiking path along the river from Kirra to Delphi.〔(Delphi, pathway ) (in Greek)〕 ==Gallery==
