ELEOUS (Ancient city) LERNA
Elaeus, Elaious: Eth. Elaiousios. A town in the Argeia, mentioned only by
Apollodorus (ii. 5.2) and Stephanus B. From the statement of the former writer
we may conclude that it could not have been far from Lerna, since Heracles, after
he had succeeded in cutting off the immortal head of the Hydra, is said to have
buried it by the side of the way leading from Lerna to Elaeus. The remains of
this town have been found in the unfrequented road leading from Lerna to Hysiae.
