There is a road from Troezen to Hermion by way of the rock which aforetime was called the altar of Zeus Sthenius （Strong） but afterwards Theseus1 took up the tokens, and people now call it the Rock of Theseus. As you go, then, along a mountain road by way of this rock, you reach a temple of Apollo surnamed Platanistius （God of the Plane-tree Grove）, and a place called Eilei, where are sanctuaries of Demeter and of her daughter Core （Maid）. Seawards, on the borders of Hermionis, is a sanctuary of Demeter surnamed Thermasia （Warmth）.
