(Pliny); a fountain sacred to the muses, springing below the top of the Acrocorinthus, a high and steep mountain which hangs over Corinth. Its waters were agreeable to drink, (Pausanias); extremely clear, (Strabo); very light (Athenaeus), and pale (Persius): having relation either to the grief of Pirene, mother of Cenchrea, from whose tears this fountain arose, (Pausanias); or to the palens brought on by the too eager pursuits of the muses.
