Neaethus

（Νέαιθος). Now Nieto; a river in Bruttium, falling into the Tarentine Gulf a little north of Croton. Here the captive Trojan women are said to have burned the ships of the Greeks, from which circumstance some of the ancients fancifully derived the name of the place (qs. ναῦς+ αἴθω). See Strabo, p. 262.
