Meaning & History
In Greek mythology, Inachus was the first king of Argos after whom a river was called Inachus River, the modern Panitsa that drains the western margin of the Argive plain. Most modern mythologists however understand Inachus as one of the river gods, all sons of OCEANUS and TETHYS and thus to the Greeks part of the pre-Olympian or "Pelasgian" mythic landscape.
