===Phliasian Asopus=== Pausanias<ref>Pausanias, [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Paus.+2.12.4&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0160:boo=0:chapter=0&highlight=Asopus 2.12.4]</ref> writes that during the reign of [[Aras (mythology)|Aras]], the first earth-born king of Sicyonian land, Asopus, said to be son of Poseidon by [[Celusa]] (this Celusa otherwise unknown but possibly identical to Pero mentioned above), discovered for him the river called Asopus and gave it his name. [[Diodorus Siculus]]<ref>[[Diodorus Siculus]], [https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Diodorus_Siculus/4D*.html#72.1 4.72.1]</ref> similarly presents Asopus (here son of Oceanus and Tethys) as a settler in [[Phlius]] and husband of Metope daughter of [[Ladon (mythology)|Ladon]], presumably here and elsewhere the Arcadian river Ladon.

Pausanias<ref name="ReferenceA">Pausanias, [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Paus.+5.22.6&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0160:boo=0:chapter=0&highlight=Asopus 5.22.6]</ref> and Diodorus Siculus<ref>Diodorus Siculus, [https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Diodorus_Siculus/4D*.html#73.1 4.73.1]β[https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Diodorus_Siculus/4D*.html#73.2 2]</ref> also mention a daughter [[Harpina]] and state that according to the traditions of the [[Ancient Elis|Elean]]s and Phliasians, Ares lay with her in the city of [[Pisa (Greece)|Pisa]] and they had a son, [[Oenomaus]], who Pausanias<ref>Pausanias, [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Paus.+6.21.8&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0160:boo=0:chapter=0&highlight=Harpina 6.21.8]</ref> says founded the city of Harpina named after her, not far from the river Harpinates. The ''Bibliotheca''<ref>Apollodorus, [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Apollod.+2.1.3&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0022:boo=0:chapter=0&highlight=Asopus 2.1.3]</ref> refers to [[Ismene]] daughter of Asopus who was wife of [[Argus Panoptes]] to whom she bore [[Iasus]], the father of [[Io (mythology)|Io]].
