Oiskus was an ancient Greek river god associated with one of the many rivers of the Peloponnese. He was a personification of a specific river, and as with many other river gods in Greek mythology, Oiskus was seen as a divine entity that embodied the power and characteristics of the river over which he presided. The river god Oiskus was primarily linked to a river located in the region of Arcadia, a land known for its rugged and mountainous terrain, rich with mythology and associated with pastoral life.
