Enipeus, in
ancient Greece, was a river god, son of
Oceanus and
Tethys. Enipeus was loved by a mortal woman named
Tyro, who was married to a mortal man named
Cretheus. She pursued Enipeus, who refused her advances. One day,
Poseidon, filled with lust for
Tyro, disguised himself as Enipeus and from their union was born
Pelias and
Neleus, twin boys. The River Enipeus (now
Enipeas) is located in
Thessaly, and was a key factor in the
Battle of Pharsalus.
