The river flows through the southern half of the Ilia plain.
In ancient times, the river passed east of what is now Staphidokampos, the Andravida Military Airport, Lechaina, and the former wetlands, now drained for agricultural purposes, near Agios Panteleimonas.
The river is seldom dry but many of its tributaries during dry summers cease to flow.
In Greek mythology, Peneus (Πηνειός) was a river god, one of the three-thousand Rivers, a child of Oceanus and Tethys.
Eros, the Greek God of Love, shot Apollo, the Greek God of the sun, with one of his arrows, causing him to fall in love with the dryad Daphne, daughter of Ladon.
Daphne prayed to the river god Peneus to help her, and he changed her into a laurel tree, which later became sacred to Apollo.
