Through the middle of this park flows the Maeander river; its sources are beneath the palace, and it flows through the city of Celaenae also.
[1.2.8] There is likewise a palace of the Great King1 in Celaenae, sfortified and situated at the foot of the Acropolis over the sources of the Marsyas river; the Marsyas also flows through the city, and empties into the Maeander, and its width is twenty-five feet.
It was here, according to the story, that Apollo flayed Marsyas,2 after having defeated him in a contest of musical skill; he hung up his skin in the cave from which the sources issue, and it is for this reason that the river is called Marsyas.

 Marsyas, Greek Mythology Link.
For when the musician died, the river Marsyas carried the flute to the river Meander, and after reappearing in the Asopus in Boeotia, it was cast ashore in the country around Sicyon, where a shepherd found it and gave it to Apollo.
According to the Phrygians from Celaenae (a city in Caria, southwestern Asia Minor), Marsyas was the composer of the Song of the Mother, an air for the flute.
When many years later they repelled the Gauls that had attacked them, they said that Marsyas had defended them against the barbarians from the river that bears his name, and by the music of his flute.

 Midas, Greek Mythology Link.
Midas' son seems to have realized that his father, through being a great lover of gold, had obliterated his reason.
When once the earth opened at Celaenae, a city in Caria, and an oracle told Midas that if he should throw his most precious possession into the abyss, it would close, he then cast in gold and silver.
When nothing happened, his son Anchurus, reasoning that there is nothing more precious than a human life, rode on his horse into the abyss, and the earth closed.

The Thebans do not agree, but say that Thebe was the daughter of the Boeotian, and not of the Phliasian, Asopus.
[2.5.3] The other stories about the river are current among both the Phliasians and the Sicyonians, for instance that its water is foreign and not native, in that the Maeander, descending from Celaenae through Phrygia and Caria, and emptying itself into the sea at Miletus, goes to the Peloponnesus and forms the Asopus.
I remember hearing a similar story from the Delians, that the stream which they call Inopus comes to them from the Nile.
