As Cleomenes was seeking divination at Delphi [22.5167,38.4917] (Perseus) Delphi, the oracle responded that he would take Argos [22.7333,37.6417] (Perseus) Argos. When he came with Spartans to the river Erasinus, which is said to flow from the Stymphalian 1 lake (this lake issues into a cleft out of sight and reappears at Argos [22.7333,37.6417] (Perseus) Argos, and from that place onwards the stream is called by the Argives Erasinus)—when Cleomenes came to this river he offered sacrifices to it.

Erasinus for not betraying its countrymen, but even so the
Argives would not go unscathed. Then he withdrew and led his army seaward to
Thyrea, where he sacrificed a bull to the sea and carried his men on shipboard to the region of
+Tiryns [22.8167,37.6] (Perseus) Tiryns and to
+Navplion [22.8,37.566] (inhabited place), Nomos Argolidhos, Peloponnese, Greece, Europe Nauplia.
