Arethusa is a famous fountain of the island of Ortigia, near Syracuse. Legend has it that Arethusa, nymph of Diana, one day as she was bathing in the waters of Alpheus River, was chased by the god of the river to the island of Ortigia. She then asked the help of Diana, who turned her into a fountain.
As the waters run and never mixed with the river, people assumed that Arethusa had the power to retain her purity, even across the muddy waters.
