Proper name

Etymology: According to Zosimus, the place “was called Rhene because it is surrounded by waters flowing throughout and on all sides” (Ῥήνη κληθεῖσα διὰ τὸ πανταχόθεν ὕδασι περιρρεῖσθαι — Historia Nova 5.27.250.4–5), referring to Ravenna’s original character as a settlement comprising buildings erected on piles on numerous small islands in a marshy lagoon. Compare the verb ῥέω (rhéō, “flow, stream, run, gush”, present active infinitive: ῥεῖν, rheîn), the noun ῥέος (rhéos, “anything flowing, a stream”), and the contraction Ῥῆ (Rhê) of the Titaness’s name Ῥέᾱ (Rhéā, “Rhea”), which Chrysippus Soleus derives from the verb.

Compare the verb ῥέω (rhéō, “flow, stream, run, gush”, present active infinitive: ῥεῖν, rheîn), the noun ῥέος (rhéos, “anything flowing, a stream”), and the contraction Ῥῆ (Rhê) of the Titaness’s name Ῥέᾱ (Rhéā, “Rhea”), which Chrysippus Soleus derives from the verb.",

Compare the verb ῥέω (rhéō, “flow, stream, run, gush”, present active infinitive: ῥεῖν, rheîn), the noun ῥέος (rhéos, “anything flowing, a stream”), and the contraction Ῥῆ (Rhê) of the Titaness’s name Ῥέᾱ (Rhéā, “Rhea”), which Chrysippus Soleus derives from the verb.",
