Perimele, daughter of
Hippodamas, who was loved by
Achelous and lay with him secretly. When her father discovered that, he pushed her off a cliff into the sea. Achelous kept her floating on the waves for a while, imploring
Poseidon to help her. The sea god transformed her into an island which bore her name, one of the
Echinades.[5]
