[10] The people of Letrini called the goddess Alpheian because of the love of Alpheios for her. But the Eleians, who from the first had been friends of Letrini, transferred to that city the worship of Artemis Elaphiaea established amongst themselves, and held that they were worshipping Artemis Alpheiaea, and so in time, the Alpheiaean goddess came to be named Elaphiaea.
