	Asopus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Phliasian Asopus, arising in Phliasian territory and flowing through Sicyonian territory into the Corinthian Gulf near Sicyon.
		Pausanias [2.5.3] informs that Phliasians and Sicyonians claimed that its source was in fact the Phrygian and Carian river Maeander that purportedly descended underground where it appeared to enter the sea at Miletus and rose again in the Peloponnesos as Asopus.
		Pausanias (1.12.4) writes that during the reign of Aras, the first earth-born king of Sicyonian land, Asopus, said to be son of Poseidon by Celusa (this Celusa otherwise unknown but possibly identical to Pero mentioned above?), discovered for him the river called Asopus and gave it his name.

		This Nicocles was attacked by Aratus with a force of Sicyonian exiles and Argive mercenaries.
		The Sicyonians say that the god was carried to them from Epidaurus on a carriage drawn by two mules, that he was in the likeness of a serpent, and that he was brought by Nicagora of Sicyon, the mother of Agasicles and the wife of Echetimus.
		They say that her sons were Sicyonians, and because of them the Sicyonians will have it that Antiope herself is related to themselves.

		The reason of this perpetually-renewed attack on Phlius is not far to seek: partly it was the result of spleen, partly the little township stood midway between them, and they cherished the hope that through want of the necessaries of life they would bring it over.
		On the field lay dead some Sicyonians, and of the Pellenians many a good man. In record of the feat the Phliasians began to raise a trophy, as well they might; and loud and clear the paean rang.
		The Sicyonians are fortifying an outpost on our borders, they have plenty of stone-masons but a mere handful of hoplites.

		From this time, they say, the Sicyonians became Dorians (for that is what they call the HERACLIDES), and their land a part of the Argive territory, as it once had been during the rule of Adrastus 1.
		But before this, at the time of the Trojan War, the Sicyonians were subject to Agamemnon; and some of them, not being particularly warlike, preferred to stay at home.
		Other known Sicyonians are: Alcon 7, who joined the army of the SEVEN AGAINST THEBES; and Alexanor, who built a sanctuary of Asclepius, his grandfather.

		With respect to the Dorian tribes, not choosing the Sicyonians to have the same tribes as the Argives, he changed all the old names for new ones.
		And here he took special occasion to mock the Sicyonians, for he drew his new names from the words "pig," and "ass," adding to them the usual tribe-endings.
		The Sicyonians kept these names, not only during the reign of Clisthenes, but even after his death, by the space of sixty years.

		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.
		[2.5.6] The Sicyonians, the neighbours of the Corinthians at this part of the border, say about their own land that Aegialeus was its first and aboriginal inhabitant, that the district of the Peloponnesus still called Aegialus was named after him because he reigned over it, and that he founded the city Aegialea on the plain.

		They overpowered the Sicyonians, and tearing asunder the stockade, pursued them to the sea and here slew numbers of them.
		At that instant Pasimachus, the cavalry general, at the head of a handful of troopers, seeing the Sicyonians sore presed, made fast the horses of his troops to the trees, and relieving the Sicyonians of their heavy infantry shields, advanced with his volunteers against the Argives.
		In another quarter of the field, however, the Corinthian exiles had got the better of their opponents and worked their way up, so that they were now touching the city circumvallation walls.

		Meanwhile the Boeotians, Megarians, and Sicyonians, advancing upon Nemea according to their instructions, found the Argives no longer there, as they had gone down on seeing their property ravaged, and were now forming for battle, the Lacedaemonians imitating their example.
		The Argives were now completely surrounded; from the plain the Lacedaemonians and their allies shut them off from their city; above them were the Corinthians, Phliasians, and Pellenians; and on the side of Nemea the Boeotians, Sicyonians, and Megarians.
		Meanwhile their army was without cavalry, the Athenians alone among the allies not having yet arrived.

	Melikertes-Palaimon, Hero of the Isthmian Games
		The long altar was never rebuilt after having been destroyed at some time, perhaps not immediately, after the sack of Corinth in 146 B.C. The Isthmian sanctuary, closely tied to the political fortunes of Corinth, appears to have been abandoned.
		With her constitutional identity removed Corinth lost control of the Isthmian Games, which were then held by the Sicyonians.
		The most obvious archaeological evidence for the cessation of sacrifices and festival at Isthmia is the fact that the wagon road between Corinth and the Isthmus ran across the foundations for the altar and the center of the temenos; another road crossed the sacred area on the south side.

		To this the Pythoness is reported to have answered, "Adrastus is the Sicyonians' king, but you are only a robber." So when the god would not grant his request, he went home and began to think how he might contrive to make Adrastus withdraw of his own accord.
		Up to then the Sicyonians had paid extraordinary honours to Adrastus, because the country had belonged to Polybus, and Adrastus was Polybus' daughter's son; whence it came to pass that Polybus, dying childless, left Adrastus his kingdom.
		Besides other ceremonies, it had been their wont to honour Adrastus with tragic choruses, which they assigned to him rather than Bacchus, on account of his calamities.

		From the Peloponnese, the following- the Lacedaemonians with six, teen ships; the Corinthians with the same number as at Artemisium; the Sicyonians with fifteen; the Epidaurians with ten; the Troezenians with five; and the Hermionians with three.
		Stones, bricks, timber, baskets filled full of sand, were used in the building; and not a moment was lost by those who gave their aid; for they laboured without ceasing either by night or day.
		Now the nations who gave their aid, and who had flocked in full force to the Isthmus, were the following: the Lacedaemonians, all the tribes of the Arcadians, the Eleans, the Corinthians, the Sicyonians, the Epidaurians, the Phliasians, the Troezenians, and the Hermionians.

		However, Agis, instead of taking this road as they expected, gave the Lacedaemonians, Arcadians, and Epidaurians their orders, and went along another difficult road, and descended into the plain of Argos.
		The Corinthians, Pellenians, and Phliasians marched by another steep road; while the Boeotians, Megarians, and Sicyonians had instructions to come down by the Nemean road where the Argives were posted, in order that, if the enemy advanced into the plain against the troops of Agis, they might fall upon his rear with their cavalry.
		These dispositions concluded, Agis invaded the plain and began to ravage Saminthus and other places.

		All the most studious youth immediately waited on these philosophers, and frequently, with admiration, heard them speak.
