A river near Troy.
The Satnioeis River joins the Skamandros River1 near Troy. A man named Enops met a naiad nymph2 while tending his flocks on the banks of the Satnioeis. Enops' union with the nymph produced a son, which they named Satnios to honor the river. Satnios fought and died as a Trojan soldier.
During the Trojan War, a man named Elatos traveled to Troy from Pedasos, on the banks of the Satnioeis River to fight in the Trojan army.
Lord Altes of Pedasos, on the Satnioeis River, gave his daughter Laothoe to Trojan King Priam with a substantial dowry even though the king already had a wife and many concubines.
