	Spercheus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		According to Antoninus Liberalis (22) the nymphs of Mount Othrys were daughters of Spercheus by Deino, whether the same Deino elsewhere named as one of the Graeae or another is not said.

		In Homer's Iliad, Spercheus is father of Menesthius, one of Achilles' commanders, by Achilles' half-sister Polydora.

		Thereupon a slight earthquake shook the neighborhood of the barrow, and a youth issued forth five cubits high, wearing a cloak of Thessalian fashion; but in appearance he was by no means the braggart figure which some imagine Achilles to have been.
		He told me then that he had never at any time shorn off his hair, bit preserved it to inviolate for the river Spercheus, for this was the river of his first intimacy; but on his cheeks you saw the first down.
		And he addressed me and said: 'I am pleased to have met you, since I have long wanted a man like yourself.

		Changes at Wicken, such as the taming of Adventurers' Fen during the Second World War, the encroachment of carr on open areas during the extended period of reduced management and the progressive drying of the Fen have undoubtedly led to some casualties among the beetle fauna.
		Some of the old species from the Fens have become nationally rare: Pterostichus aterrimus (RDBI), Chlaeius tristis (RDB2 'vulnerable'), Spercheus emarginatus (RDB1, probably extinct in Britain), Hydraena palustris (RDB2), Oberea oculata (RDBI) and Lixus paraplecticus (RDB1).
		It should not be surprising that they are now rare or extinct on the Fen.

		In 480 B.C., when the 1,000 Spartans and Thespians of King Leonidas held out for hours until every one had been butchered by the 10,000 Persians, the pass of Thermopylae, which lies not between two mountains but between a mountain ridge and the sea, was only 42 feet wide.
		Since then the delta of the River Spercheus has built out almost three miles of marshy land, widening the pass.
		Also, the main road to Athens no longer runs between the bluff and the sea.

		Seated here, in a rocky cavern, he laid down the law to the waters and the nymphs who lived in his streams.
		Here the rivers of his own country first met, unsure whether to console with or celebrate Daphne’s father: Spercheus among poplars, restless
		Amphrysus, Aeas and ancient Apidanus; and then later all the others that, whichever way their force carries them, bring down their weary wandering waters to the sea.
