Elatea: the high road from Orchomenus to Opus also leads to those
places: but to go to Abæ you turn a little off that high road to the
left. The people of Abæ say they came to Phocis from Argos, and that
their town took its name from its founder Abas, the son of Lynceus by
Hypermnestra the daughter of Danaus. The people of Abæ consider that
their town was in ancient times sacred to Apollo, and there was an
oracle of Apollo there. But the Romans and Persians did not equally
honour the god, for the Romans in their piety to Apollo granted
autonomy to the people of Abæ, but Xerxes’ army burnt the temple there.
And though the Greeks resisted the barbarians, they did not think good
to rebuild the temples that were burnt down, but to leave them for
all time as records of national hatred:[149] and so the temples at
Haliartia, and the temple of Hera at Athens on the way to Phalerum,
and the temple of Demeter at Phalerum remain to this day half-burnt.
Such also I imagine was the condition of the temple at Abæ, till in
the Phocian War, when some Phocian fugitives who were beaten in battle
fleeing for refuge to it, the Thebans, emulating the conduct of the
Medes, set them and the temple on fire. It is therefore in the most
ruinous condition of all the buildings injured by fire, for after
first suffering from the Persian fire, it was next consumed altogether
by the Bœotian. Near this great temple is a smaller one, erected to
Apollo by the Emperor Adrian, but the statues are ancient and were the
votive offering of the people of Abæ, Apollo and Leto and Artemis in
bronze. There is also a theatre at Abæ and a market-place, both ancient.
When you return to the high road for Opus the first place you come to
is Hyampolis. Its name indicates who its inhabitants were originally,
and from whence they were expelled when they came here. They were
Hyantes who had fled from Thebes, from Cadmus and his army. And at
first the town was called the town of the Hyantes, but as time went on
the name Hyampolis prevailed. Although the town was burnt by Xerxes and
rased to the ground by Philip, yet there are remains of the ancient
market-place, and a small council-chamber, and a theatre not far from
the gates. The Emperor Adrian also built a Portico which bears his
name. The inhabitants have but one well to drink and wash with, the
only other water they have is rain water in winter. The goddess they
especially worship is Artemis, and they have a temple to her, but the
statue of the goddess I cannot describe, as they only open the temple
twice a year. And the cattle they call sacred to Artemis are free from
disease and fatter than other cattle.
From Chæronea to Phocis you can go either by the direct road to Delphi
through Panopeus and by Daulis and the cross-roads, or by the rugged
mountainous road from Chæronea to Stiris, which is 120 stades. The
people of Stiris say they were originally Athenians, and came from
Attica with Peteus the son of Orneus, who was expelled from Athens by
Ægeus: and as most of the followers of Peteus came from the township
Stiria they called the town Stiris. It is on high and rocky ground, so
in summer they are very short of water, for their wells are few, nor is
the water they afford good. They serve however for baths, and for drink
for beasts of burden. But the inhabitants of Stiris have to descend
about 4 stades to get drinkable water from a spring, hewn out of the
rock: and they go down to it to draw up the water. There is at Stiris a
temple of Demeter Stiritis built of unbaked brick: the statue of the
goddess is of Pentelican marble, she has torches in her hands. Near it
is another ancient statue in honour of Demeter adorned with fillets.
[149] Compare Cicero _de Republ._ iii. 9. “Fana ne reficienda
quidem Graii putaverunt, ut esset posteris ante os documentum Persarum
sceleris sempiternum.”
CHAPTER XXXVI.
From Stiris to Ambrosus is about 60 stades: the road lies in the plain
with mountains on both sides. Vines grow throughout the plain, and
brambles, not quite so plentifully, which the Ionians and Greeks call
_coccus_, but the Galati above Phrygia call in their native tongue
_Hys_. The coccus is about the size of the white thorn, and its leaves
are darker and softer than the mastich-tree, though in other respects
similar. And its berry is like the berry of the nightshade, and about
the size of the bitter vetch. And a small grub breeds in it which, when
the fruit is ripe, becomes a gnat and flies off. But they gather the
berries, while it is still in the grub state, and its blood is useful
in dyeing wool.
Ambrosus lies under Mount Parnassus, and opposite Delphi, and got its
name they say from the hero Ambrosus. In the war against Philip and the
Macedonians the Thebans drew a double wall round Ambrosus, made of the
black and very strong stone of the district. The circumference of each
wall is little less than a fathom, and the height is 2½ fathoms,
where the wall has not fallen: and the interval between the two walls
is a fathom. But, as they were intended only for immediate defence,
these walls were not decorated with towers or battlements or any other
embellishment. There is also a small market-place at Ambrosus, most of
the stone statues in it are broken.
As you turn to Anticyra the road is at first rather steep, but after
about two stades it becomes level, and there is on the right a temple
of Dictynnæan Artemis, who is held in the highest honour by the people
of Ambrosus; her statue is of Æginetan workmanship in black stone. From
this temple to Anticyra is all the way downhill. They say the town
was called Cyparissus in ancient times, and Homer in his Catalogue of
the Phocians[150] preferred to give it its old name, for it was then
beginning to be called Anticyra, from Anticyreus who was a contemporary
of Hercules. The town lies below the ruins of Medeon, one of the towns
as I have before mentioned which impiously plundered the temple at
Delphi. The people of Anticyra were expelled first by Philip the son
of Amyntas, and secondly by the Roman Otilius, because they had been
faithful to Philip, the son of Demetrius, the king of the Macedonians,
for Otilius had been sent from Rome to protect the Athenians against
Philip. And the hills above Anticyra are very rocky, and the chief
thing that grows on them is hellebore. The black hellebore is a
purgative, while the white acts as an emetic, the root also of the
hellebore is a purgative. There are brazen statues in the market-place
at Anticyra, and near the harbour is a small temple of Poseidon,
made of unhewn stone, and plastered inside. The statue of the god is
in bronze: he is in a standing posture, and one of his feet is on a
dolphin: one hand is on his thigh, in the other is a trident. There are
also two gymnasiums, one contains baths, the other opposite to it is
an ancient one, in which is a bronze statue of Xenodamus, a native of
Anticyra, who, as the inscription states, was victor at Olympia among
men in the pancratium. And if the inscription is correct, Xenodamus
will have won the wild-olive crown in the 211th Olympiad, the only
Olympiad of all passed over by the people of Elis in their records. And
above the market-place is a conduit: the water is protected from the
sun by a roof supported on pillars. And not much above this conduit is
a tomb built of common stone: they say it is the tomb of the sons of
Iphitus, of whom one returned safe from Ilium and died in his native
place, the other Schedius died in the Troad, but his remains were
brought home and deposited here.
[150] Iliad, ii. 519.
CHAPTER XXXVII.
On the right of the town at the distance of about 2 stades is a lofty
rock, which forms part of a mountain, and on it is a temple of Artemis,
and a statue of the goddess by Praxiteles, with a torch in her right
hand and her quiver over her shoulders, she is taller than the tallest
woman, and on her left hand is a dog.
Bordering on Phocis is the town of Bulis, which got its name from
Bulon the founder of the colony, it was colonized from the towns in
ancient Doris. The people of Bulis are said to have shared in the
impiety of Philomelus and the Phocians. From Thisbe in Bœotia to Bulis
is 80 stades, I do not know whether there is any road from Anticyra to
Bulis on the mainland, so precipitous and difficult to scale are the
mountains between. It is about 100 stades from Anticyra to the port:
and from the port to Bulis is I conjecture by land about 7 stades. And
a mountain torrent, called by the natives Hercules’, falls into the sea
here. Bulis lies on high ground, and you sail by it as you cross from
Anticyra to Lechæum near Corinth. And more than half the inhabitants
live by catching shell-fish for purple dye. There are no particular
buildings to excite admiration at Bulis except two temples, one of
Artemis, the other of Dionysus; their statues are of wood, but who
made them I could not ascertain. The god that they worship most they
call Supreme, a title I imagine of Zeus. They have also a well called
Saunion.
To Cirrha, the seaport of Delphi, it is about 60 stades from Delphi,
and as you descend to the plain is a Hippodrome, where they celebrate
the Pythian horse-races. As to Taraxippus in Olympia I have described
it in my account of Elis. In this Hippodrome of Apollo there are
accidents occasionally, inasmuch as the deity in all human affairs
awards both good and bad, but there is nothing specially contrived
to frighten horses, either from the malignity of some hero, or any
other cause. And the plain of Cirrha is almost entirely bare of trees,
for they do not care to plant trees, either in consequence of some
curse, or because they do not think the soil favourable to the growth
of trees. It is said that Cirrha got its present name from the Nymph
Cirrha, but Homer in the Iliad calls it by its ancient name Crisa,[151]
as also in the Hymn to Apollo. And subsequently the people of Cirrha
committed various acts of impiety against Apollo, and ravaged the
territory sacred to the god. The Amphictyones resolved therefore to
war against the people of Cirrha, and chose for their leader Clisthenes
the king of Sicyon, and invited Solon the Athenian to assist them by
his counsel. They also consulted the oracle, and this was the response
of the Pythian Priestess, “You will not capture the tower and demolish
the town, till the wave of blue-eyed Amphitrite, dashing over the dark
sea, shall break into my grove.”
Solon persuaded them therefore to consecrate to the god the land about
Cirrha, that the grove of Apollo might extend as far as the sea. He
invented also another ingenious contrivance against the people of
Cirrha: he turned the course of the river Plistus which flowed through
the town. And when the besieged still held out by drinking rain water
and the water from the wells, he threw some roots of hellebore into
the Plistus, and when he thought the water of the river sufficiently
impregnated with this, he turned it back into its ordinary channel,
and the people of Cirrha, drinking freely of the water, were attacked
with an incessant diarrhœa, and unable to man the walls, so the
Amphictyones captured the town, and took vengeance on the inhabitants
for their conduct to the god, and Cirrha became the seaport of Delphi.
It contains a handsome temple of Apollo and Artemis and Leto, and large
statues of those divinities, of Attic workmanship. There is also a
smaller statue of Adrastea.
[151] Iliad, ii. 520.
CHAPTER XXXVIII.
Next comes the land of the Ozolian Locrians: why they were called
Ozolian is differently stated, I shall relate all that I heard. When
Orestheus the son of Deucalion was king of the country, a bitch gave
birth to a piece of wood instead of a puppy: and Orestheus having
buried this piece of wood in the ground, they say the next spring
a vine sprang from it, and these Ozolians got their name from its
branches.[152] Another tradition is that Nessus, the ferryman at
the river Evenus, did not immediately die when wounded by Hercules,
but fled to this land, and dying here rotted, as he was unburied,
and tainted the air. A third tradition attributes the name to the
unpleasant smell of a certain river, and a fourth to the smell of
the asphodel which abounds in that part. Another tradition is that
the first dwellers here were Aborigines, and not knowing how to make
garments wore untanned hides as a protection against the cold, putting
the hairy portion of the hides outside for ornament. Thus their smell
would be as unpleasant as that of a tan-yard.
About 120 stades from Delphi is Amphissa, the largest and most famous
town of these Locrians. The inhabitants joined themselves to the
Ætolians from shame at the title Ozolian. It is also probable that,
when Augustus removed many of the Ætolians to fill his town Nicopolis,
many of them migrated to Amphissa. However the original inhabitants
were Locrians, and the town got its name they say from Amphissa, (the
daughter of Macar the son of Æolus), who was beloved by Apollo. The
town has several handsome sights, especially the tombs of Amphissa
and Andræmon: with Andræmon his wife Gorge, the daughter of Œneus,
was buried. In the citadel is a temple of Athene, and statue of the
goddess in a standing position, which they say was brought by Thoas
from Ilium, and was part of the Trojan spoil. This however I cannot
credit. I showed in a previous part of my work that the Samians Rhœcus,
(the son of Philæus), and Theodorus, (the son of Telecles), were the
first brass-founders. However I have not discovered any works in brass
by Theodorus. But in the temple of Ephesian Artemis, when you go into a
room containing some paintings, you will see a stone cornice above the
altar of Artemis Protothronia; on this cornice are several statues and
among others one at the end by Rhœcus, which the Ephesians call Night.
The statue therefore of Athene at Amphissa is more ancient and ruder in
art. The people of Amphissa celebrate the rites of the youths called
Anactes (_Kings_): different accounts are given as to who they were,
some say Castor and Pollux, others say the Curetes, those who think
themselves best informed say the Cabiri.
These Locrians have other towns, as Myonia above Amphissa, and 30
stades from it, facing the mainland. Its inhabitants presented a shield
to Zeus at Olympia. The town lies on high ground, and there is a grove
and altar to the Mild Deities, and there are nightly sacrifices to
them, and they consume the flesh of the victims before daybreak. There
is also above the town a grove of Poseidon called Poseidonium, and in
it a temple, but there is no statue there now.
Myonia is above Amphissa: and near the sea is Œanthea, and at no great
distance Naupactus. All these towns except Amphissa are under the
Achæans of Patræ, as a grant from the Emperor Augustus. At Œanthea
there is a temple of Aphrodite, and a little above the town a grove of
cypress and pine, and in it a temple and statue of Artemis: and some
paintings on the walls rather obscured by time, so that one cannot
now see them clearly. I think the town must have got its name from
some woman or Nymph. As to Naupactus I know the tradition is that the
Dorians and the sons of Aristomachus built a fleet there, with which
they crossed over to the Peloponnese, hence the origin of the name.
As to the history of Naupactus, how the Athenians took it from the
Locrians and gave it to the Messenians who removed to Ithome at the
time of the earthquake at Lacedæmon, and how after the reverse of the
Athenians at Ægos-potamoi the Lacedæmonians ejected the Messenians,
all this has been related by me in my account of Messenia: and when
the Messenians were obliged to evacuate it then the Locrians returned
to Naupactus. As to the Poems called by the Greeks Naupactian, most
attribute them to a Milesian: but Charon the son of Pytheus says they
were composed by Carcinus a native of Naupactus. I follow the account
of the native of Lampsacus: for how is it reasonable to suppose that
poems written on women by a Milesian should be called Naupactian? There
is at Naupactus a temple of Poseidon near the sea, and a brazen statue
of the god in a standing posture; there is also a temple and statue
of Artemis in white stone. The goddess is called Ætolian Artemis, and
is in the attitude of a person hurling a javelin. Aphrodite also has
honours paid to her in a cavern: they pray to her for various favours,
widows especially for a second husband. There are also ruins of a
temple of Æsculapius, which was originally built by one Phalysius,
a private individual, who had an ailment in his eyes and was nearly
blind, and the god of Epidaurus sent to him the poetess Anyte with a
sealed letter. She dreamed one night and directly she woke found the
sealed letter in her hands, and sailed to Naupactus and bade Phalysius
remove the seal and read what was written. And though he was clearly
unable to read from his blindness, yet, having faith in the god, he
broke open the seal, and became cured by looking at the letter, and
gave Anyte 2,000 gold staters, which was the sum mentioned in the
letter.
[152] The Greek word for branch is _Ozos_. Hence the Paronomasia. All
the four other unsavoury traditions are connected with the Greek verb
_ozo_, I smell.
