Elissonas (Arcadia)
Elissonas (Greek Ελλισών ή Ελισσώνας) is a river in Greece, in the central part of the Peloponnese peninsula, in Arcadia, the right tributary of the Alfeios. It takes its source on the western slopes of the Menalon Mountains, northwest of Tripolis. It flows into Alfeios near the city of Megalopolis. Known in antiquity as Helisson. Pausanias reports that the river takes its source from the city of the same name (near the modern village of Alonistena), founded by Helisson, the son of Lycaon (king of Arcadia). From the son of Lycaon, the city and the river were named.

Alfeios
The Alfeiós or Alpheios ( el, Αλφειός, grc, Ἀλφειός, Latin Alpheus) is the main stream of the Alpheios Valley drainage system, a dendritic type, originating on the north slopes of Mount Taygetus, located in the center of the Peloponnesus of Greece, and flowing to the northwest to the vicinity of Olympia, where it turns to the west and, after being impounded by the Flokas Dam, a hydroelectric facility, empties into the Gulf of Kyparissia of the Ionian Sea south of Pyrgos. The entrance into the gulf through agricultural land and across an unpopulated, sandy beach partially blocked by a spit is hydrologically unspectacular, with the water too shallow to be navigable by any but the smallest craft. The concept of a single source has little meaning for most of the rivers of Greece, which begin as a confluence of multiple springs in the mountain valleys. There is almost never just one, although most may be unreported or neglected. Thus it is appropriate to speak "a sourc ...
