Editing Inachus (section)

=== Contest of Poseidon and Hera ===
Inachus and his river god brothers [[Cephissus (mythology)|Cephissus]] and [[Asterion (god)|Asterion]] were mediators in a land dispute between [[Poseidon]] and Hera. When they judged that the land belonged to Hera, Poseidon took away their water out of anger. For this reason neither Inachus nor either of the other rivers provided any water except during rainy seasons. In [[Achaeans (Homer)|Danaan]] [[Origin myth|founding myth]], because of the springs of [[Argolis|Argolid]]  being dried up, King [[Danaus]] sent his daughters to draw water to counter this drought. One of these daughters, [[Amymone]], in her search lay with Poseidon who revealed to her the springs at [[Lerna]].<ref>Aeschylus, ''[[The Persians|Persians]]'' s.v.

The Argives then made a sanctuary to Poseidon Prosclystius (Flooder) at the spot where the tide ebbed.<ref>Compare Pausanias, [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Paus.+2.15.5&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0160:book=2:chapter=15&highlight=Inachus 2.15.5] & [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Paus.+2.22.4&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0160:book=0:chapter=0&highlight=Inachus 2.22.4]</ref>
