Genesium

Genesium (also Genesion or Genese) was an ancient town in Argolis on the Argolic Gulf, south of Lerna and north of the Anigraea pass into Thyreatis. Pausanias calls it Genethlium or Genethlion and says there is a freshwater spring rising in the sea nearby named Dine, though the spring itself lies south of the Anigraea. A small sanctuary to Poseidon Genesius stood by the sea. The neighboring area was Apobathmi. The surrounding countryside was called Pyramia, from pyramid-shaped monuments found there. Its site is near the modern town of Kiveri in southern Argolis.
