Hello friends,
Here is an important excerpt concerning the use of the name Acheloios to refer to all water.
HESYCHIUS, 6th century AD
Ἀχ 276. Hesychius provides additional confirmation that Acheloios was the name for all water in antiquity.
Lexicon A.8841.1-2 (ed. Latte)
Ἀχελῷος· ποταμὸς Ἀκαρνανίας καὶ πᾶν ὕδωρ οὕτως λέγεται Φ 194
Molinari:

Themata: Identified with water; Location: Aetolia/Akarnania
