Alpheus

In Greek mythology, Alpheus, or Alpheios (meaning whitish)) was a river-god one of the three-thousand children of Oceanus and Tethys. He fell in love with Arethusa, a nymph, and chased her to Sicily.

Artemis changed her into a fountain. He swam underwater to be with her and mingled his waters with hers.
