Rhebas (river)

The Rhebas (Ancient Greek: Ῥήβας) 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 Riva Deresi in Asiatic Turkey.^[6]
