The river Anavros and Anaurus (Greek: Άναυρος, Ancient Greek: Ἄναυρος, Latin: Anaurus) is a torrent near the ancient city of Iolkos (modern-day Volos), flowing from Mount Pelion into the Pagasetic Gulf.[1] The hero Jason was said to have lost a sandal in its waters, as he ferried the disguised goddess Hera across its stream.
