Genesium or Genesion (Ancient Greek: Γενέσιον) or Genese (Γενέση)[1] was a town of ancient Argolis upon the Argolic Gulf, south of Lerna, and north of the mountain pass, called Anigraea, leading into the Thyreatis.
[2] Pausanias also calls the place Genethlium or Genethlion (Γενέθλιον), and says less correctly that near it was the spring of fresh water rising in the sea, called Dine; whereas this spring of fresh water is to the south of the Anigraea.
[3] By the sea is a small sanctuary of Poseidon Genesius (Γενεσίου Ποσειδῶνος).
[2] The surrounding country was called Pyramia (Πυράμια), from the monuments in the form of pyramids found here.
