Abstract
This chapter analyses the myths about the river-god Asopos and his daughters, the Asopid nymphs, as reflected in the Aeginetan odes of Pindar and in other sources. It is argued that these myths accommodated political ideologies that pre-date the reception of Homeric poetry in Athens during the classical period of the fifth century BC
