Temenium is in Argive territory, and was named after Temenus, the
son of Aristomachus. For, having seized and strengthened the position, he waged
therefrom with the Dorians the war against Tisamenus and the Achaeans. On the
way to Temenium from Lerna
the river Phrixus empties itself into the sea, and in Temenium is built a sanctuary
of Poseidon, as well as one of Aphrodite; there is also the tomb of Temenus, which
is worshipped by the Dorians in Argos.
Fifty stades, I conjecture, from Temenium is Nauplia,
which at the present day is uninhabited...(Paus.2.38.1)
But to the Argives belongs Prasiae,
and also Temenium, where Temenus was buried, and, still before Temenium, the district
through which flows the river Lerne,
as it is called, bearing the same name as the marsh in which is laid the scene
of the myth of the Hydra. Temenium lies above the sea at a distance of twenty-six
stadia from Argos; and from
Argos to Heraeum
the distance is forty stadia, and thence to Mycenae
ten. After Temenium comes Nauplia,
the naval station of the Argives. . . (Srabo 8.6.2)
