Pheneüs was a city in northeastern Arcadia.
The only mythical significance of this city had to do with the myth of Heracles. When Heracles was defeated in the first war against the kingdom of Elis, the hero came to Pheneüs to recover from his illness and regroup his army. It is also believed that Iphicles, Heracles' half-brother, died near this city.
Pheneüs, Φενεος.
