Earth:Rhebas (river)
From HandWiki
The Rhebas (Ancient Greek:) was a very small river on the coast of ancient Bithynia, the length of which amounts only to a few miles (or km); it flows into the Euxine, near the entrance of the Bosporus, northeast of Chalcedon.[1][2][3] This little river, which is otherwise of no importance, owes its celebrity to the story of the Argonauts.[4] It also bore the names of Rhesaeus and Rhesus,[2][5] the last of which seems to have arisen from a confusion with the Rhesus mentioned by Homer. Its site is identified with the Rıva deresi in Asiatic Turkey.[6]
