Aegialeus, a figure of the Sicyonian lineage, established the city of Aegialea on the plain.1 He fathered Europs, a connection the Sicyonians assert as part of his historical standing.1 His citadel once stood where the sanctuary of Athena now rises.1

The region formerly called Aegialus is said to have taken its name from him.2 While some accounts suggest the name derives from the coastline, the Sicyonians claim it honors Aegialeus himself.2
