Summary
| Description |
The River Kaystros had its headwaters on Mount Tmolos and flowed into the Aegean Sea near the town of Ephesos on the Lydian border with Karia (Caria). The next major rivers were the Meles and Hermos to the north, and Maiandros (Meander) to the south. Pausanias, Description of Greece 7. 2. 8 (trans. Jones) (Greek travelogue C2nd A.D.) : "Ephesos (Ephesus), who is thought to have been a son of the river Kaystros (Cayster), and from Ephesos the city received its name." |
