A small river in TRACHIS, today once again called Asopos (formerly known as the Karvounaria; Müller I, 315–17). According to Herodotus, the ANOPAEA path above THERMOPYLAE began where the Asopus River flows through a gorge. In 480 BCE the Persians crossed over the Asopus in order to travel along this path (7.216–217.1). In Herodotus’ time it emptied directly into the MALIAN GULF (7.200.1), whereas today it empties into the SPERCHEIUS RIVER.
