Inatus or Inatos (Ancient Greek: Ἴνατος),[1] or Einatus or Einatos (Ἔινατος),[2] was a city of ancient Crete, situated on a mountain and river of the same name. The Peutinger Table puts a place called Inata on a river 24 M.P. east of Lisia, and 32 M.P. west of Hierapytna. These distances, assuming Lisia is Lasaea agree well with the site near Tsoutsouros where modern scholars place Inatus.[3][4] The goddess Eileithyia is said to have been worshipped here, and to have obtained one of her epithets, from it.[5]
