What is "meilichos"

Meilichos is a torrent in the northwestern part of Achaea, southern Greece. The river flows from the northern part of the Panachaiko mountain to the Gulf of Patras. It passes through the village Sychaina, now a neighbourhood of Patras. In antiquity there was a temple of Artemis Triklaria near the river, but this has not been found by archaeologists. Near the present Aretha street a bridge from the Roman era has been excavated.
