is made to a river Iardano in the Elide in a passage of the Iliad (Book VII, 135), where Nestore remembers Pili and Arcadi involved in a battle at the rapid Celadonte river under the Feia Walls, and around Iardano shores. Strabone (VII.3.12) describing the coastline of the Ellipse, notes: "After Chelonata comes the long coast of the Pisatids, and then Cape Feia. There was also a small town called Feia:" at Feia's wall, Iardano ", as there is also a small river nearby. According to some, it is from Feia that originates Pisa."
In the Odyssey (book III, 293), a Iardano River is located in the northwestern part of Crete, where, as Nestore remembers, settlers settled.
Even in the second century AD, Pausania speaks of a sulfur river coming from Mount Lapito in Arcadia, called Acidas: "I heard from an Ephesian who had been called Acidas by Iardan in the past. I report this statement even though I have not found any Part confirms that. Cyrus H. Gordon was the first to point out that Jordan in the Bible is not a proper name but, with two exceptions, he always appears with an adjective, and suggested that it could be referred to ancient times to the rivers of Crete and the territory Greek with the meaning of river.
Iardan was king of Lydia and father of Onphale. A tradition is made by a wizard who had pushed, with its maladies, his enemy, King Camblite, to devour his wife, so much was the insatiable hunger he had brought him. Notemodify wikitesto
