Titaressos River
Titaressus River

A river in the domain of Gouneus.

  During the Trojan War, Gouneus of Kyphos (Cyphus) commanded the Achaian (Achaean) soldiers from the vicinity of the Titaressos River and the city of Dodona.

  The Titaressos flowed into the Peneios (Peneius) River, but the waters of Titaressos glided like oil across the surface of the Peneios without mixing because the Peneios River was an extension of Styx, the dreaded oath-river.1

1. Styx—commonly called the "oath-river," Styx was not a river, she was an Okeanid, a daughter of Okeanos (Ocean) and Tethys.
