Selemnus (god)

He was traditionally the divine personification of the Selemnos, a river which flows in the region of Achaea, northern Peloponnese.

[3][4] But as the years passed and Selemnus grew older and less handsome, Argyra ceased to visit him with the same frequency as before.

[7][11] For that reason, men and women of Achaea would wash themselves in the waters of the Selemnus in order to rid themselves of their passions.

[11][13][12] Due to the scarcity of preserved historical evidence, it cannot be determined with certainty whether Selemnus was a prominent river-god, as merely one mythological tale concerning him survives, and it focuses on his mortal, pre-fluvial life.

[19] In Propertius's telling, he wrote that Eos did not forsake Tithonus, old and aged as he was, and would still embrace him and hold him in her arms rather than leaving him deserted in his cold chamber, while cursing the gods for his cruel fate.
