Pleistos
The Pleistos (Greek: Πλειστος) is a Greek river that starts at Mount Parnassos and flows south to the Corinthian Gulf near Kirra. Its neighbors include Kephisos to the north and Euenos to the west. Solon of Athens is said to have used hellebore roots to poison the water in an aqueduct leading from the River Pleistos around 590 BC during the siege of Kirra.[1]
