Feneos

Feneos

Feneos or Pheneos (Greek: "Φενεός," Latin: "Pheneus") is a municipality in Corinthia, Greece. Its population was 2,359 as of 2001. The seat of the municipality is in Goura.

In ancient times the area was considered part of the Arcadian region. Feneos lies at the foot of Mount Cyllene, mythical birthplace of the god Hermes. It therefore served as an important cult centre for the god, notably during the anual festival of the Hermaea. [Pausanias (2nd century CE. "Description of Greece." : 14: 10.]

In the "Aeneid," Evander's fond memories of a visit by Aeneas' father Anchises to Feneos are one factor in his decision to ally his Arcadian colonists to the Trojans. [P. Vergilius Maro (29-19 BCE). "Aeneis." : 164.]
