(anc. geog.) a noble river running through the middle of Pamphylia; famous for a sea and land fight on the same day, in which the Athenians, under Cimon the son of Miltiades, defeated the Persians. The sea-fight happened first in the sea of Pamphylia, towards Cyprus; the land engagement, the following night on the Eurymedon. Cimon, after defeating the Persian fleet, armed his men with the armour of the captives, and set sail for the enemy, who lay on the banks of the Eurymedon, in the ships taken from the Persians; who on seeing their own ships and their own people in appearance, were off their guard, and thus became an easy conquest.
