An Entity of Type: river, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Düden River (Turkish: Düden Su; Ancient Greek: Καταρράκτης - Katarraktes; Latin: Catarrhactes) is a river of southern Anatolia, Turkey, the lower reaches of which traverse Düden Waterfalls, and enters the Mediterranean Sea east of Antalya. Anciently, it was a major river of Pamphylia. Pomponius Mela describes its ancient names as being so called because it has a great fall or cataract. He places the town of Perga between the Cestrus and the Catarrhactes. The Stadiasmus describes it by the term οἱ Καταρράκται, or "the Falls". Strabo also speaks of this river as falling over a high rock.

  • The Düden River (Turkish: Düden Su; Ancient Greek: Καταρράκτης - Katarraktes; Latin: Catarrhactes) is a river of southern Anatolia, Turkey, the lower reaches of which traverse Düden Waterfalls, and enters the Mediterranean Sea east of Antalya. Anciently, it was a major river of Pamphylia. Pomponius Mela describes its ancient names as being so called because it has a great fall or cataract. He places the town of Perga between the Cestrus and the Catarrhactes. The Stadiasmus describes it by the term οἱ Καταρράκται, or "the Falls". Strabo also speaks of this river as falling over a high rock. This river, on approaching the coast, divides into several branches, which, falling over the cliffs that border this part of the coast, have formed a calcareous deposit. Through this calcareous crust the water finds its way to the sea, and the river has now no determinate outlet, unless, adds Leake, it be after heavy rains, when, it precipitates itself copiously over the cliffs near the most projecting point of the coast, a little to the west of Laara. According to the Stadiasmus the outlet of the river was at a place called , probably the Magydus of Ptolemy or the Mygdale of the Stadiasmus may be Magydus. The Düden River runs underground in one part of its course, which appears to be of considerable length. (en)
  • O rio Düden ( em turco: Düden Su ; em grego clássico: Καταρράκτης - Katarraktes ; em latim: Catarrhactes ) é um rio do sul da Anatólia , na Turquia , o curso inferior do qual atravessa as Cataratas de Düden , e entra no Mar Mediterrâneo a leste de Antália . Antigamente, era um rio importante da Panfília. Pompônio Mela descreve seus nomes antigos como sendo assim chamados porque tem uma grande queda ou catarata. Ele coloca a cidade de Perge entre os Cestrus e os Catarracas. O Stadiasmus descreve-o pelo termo οἱ Καταρράκται, ou "as Cataratas". Estrabão também fala desse rio caindo sobre uma rocha alta. Este rio, ao se aproximar da costa, divide-se em vários ramos, que, caindo sobre as falésias que margeiam essa parte da costa, formaram um depósito calcário. Através desta crosta calcária a água encontra o seu caminho para o mar, e o rio agora não tem saída determinada, a menos que, acrescente Leake , seja depois de fortes chuvas, quando, precipita-se copiosamente sobre as falésias perto do ponto mais saliente da costa. um pouco a oeste de Laara. De acordo com o Stadiasmus, a saída do rio estava em um lugar chamado Masura, provavelmente o Magydus de Ptolemeu ou o Mygdale do Stadiasmus podem ser Magydus. O rio Düden é subterrâneo em uma parte de seu curso, que parece ter um comprimento considerável. (pt)
