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.
At the Rhium in Achaea, then, being not far from Panormus, where their land-force was, the Peloponnesians also came to anchor with seventy-seven ships, when they saw that the Athenians had done the same.
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.
and after erecting a trophy at Rhium, and dedicating a ship to Neptune, they returned to Naupactus.
