Selemnus (god)

In Greek mythology, Selemnus is a young shepherd boy turned river god from the Peloponnese in southern Greece. He was traditionally the divine personification of the Selemnos, a river which flows in the region of Achaea, northern Peloponnese. Selemnus is notable for his brief and tragic love story with the nymph Argyra, preserved in the Description of Greece, a travel guide by Pausanias, an ancient Greek traveller of the second century AD.
