Ephyra (Ancient Greek: Ἐφύρη, Ἔφυρα, Ἐφύρα, or Εφύρα) was town of ancient Elis, situated upon the river Selleeis, and the ancient capital of Augeias, whom Heracles conquered.
[3] Strabo describes Ephyra as distant 120 stadia from Elis, on the road to Lasion, and says that on its site or near it was built the town of Oenoe or Boeonoa.
[5] From these two accounts there can be little doubt that the Ladon, the chief tributary of the Peneius, is the Selleeis,[6] which Strabo describes as rising in Mount Pholoë.
[7] Ephyra's site is tentatively located within the bounds of modern Efyra.
