eurymedon river

Ancient geographers called the modern day Turkish river of Kopru su, the Eurymedon. It was situated in the kingdom of Pamphylia and emptied into the Mediterranean. At its mouth in the 460s BC (the actual date is highly disputed), the Athenian general Cimon defeated a large Persian force of ships and men moving westwards. The two land and sea battles lasted one day and included Cimon's capture or destruction of the entire Phoenician fleet of 200 triremes. Strabo records a lake he called Caprias near its mouth although the area is today a salt marsh.
