Ion
Coastal locale near which Achaeus is foretold to rule.
he shall lord it o’er the seaboard nigh to Rhium, and his folk, that bear his name, shall win the proud distinction of their leader’s title.
History of the Peloponnesian War
Twin promontories marking the mouth of the Corinthian Gulf, serving as opposing anchorages before the second naval battle and site of the first battle's victory trophy.
This Rhium was friendly to the Athenians;
and after erecting a trophy at Rhium, and dedicating a ship to Neptune, they returned to Naupactus.
Phormio, too, coasted along to the Rhium near Molycrium, and dropped anchor outside of it, with twenty ships, the same as he had before fought with.
Hellenica
Place abandoned by Proaenus and taken over by the Lacedaemonians.
Proaenus, the Corinthian, however, who had succeeded to the command of the ships of Agathinus, abandoned Rhium, and the Lacedaemonians took it over.
