==== Plutarch ==== According to Plutarch, the river Inachus had before borne the name of Carmanor or [[Haliacmon (mythology)|Haliacmon]]. Afterwards it was called after Inachus, the son of Oceanus. After Zeus ([[Jupiter (mythology)|Jupiter]]) had deflowered his daughter Io, Inachus pursued the deity close at the heels, abusing and cursing him all the way as he went. Which so offended Zeus, that he sent [[Tisiphone]], one of the [[Erinyes|Furies]], who haunted and plagued him to that degree, that he flung himself into the river Haliacmon, bearing his own name afterwards.<ref name=":2">Pseudo-[[Plutarch]], ''De fluviis'' [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:2008.01.0400:chapter=18&highlight=inachus 18]</ref>
