(Strabo, Livy); a river of Achaea, running between Sicyon and Corinth, the common boundary of both territories, and falling into the Corinthian bay.

in Ancient Geography, situated between Cleone and Philus in Argolis; whether town, district, or other thing, uncertain; there a grove stood in which the Argives celebrated the Nemean games, and there happened all the fabulous circumstances of the Nemean lion. The district Nemea is called Bembinadia, (Pliny); a village, Bembina, standing near Nemea, (Strabo). Stephanus places Nemea in Elis; though not in Elis, but on its borders; Pliny, erroneously, in Arcadia. In the adjoining mountain is still shown the den of the lion, distant 15 stadia from the place Nemea, (Paulianas); in which stands a considerable temple of Jupiter Nemeus and Cleoneus, from the vicinity of these two places. This place gave name to the Nemean games, celebrated every third year.
