You will then cross the river and reach a grove called Soron, passing through Argeathae, Lycuntes, as it is called, and Scotane. Now the road to Psophis passes by way of Soron, which, like other Arcadian groves, breeds the following beasts wild boars, bears, and tortoises of vast size.

Others say that, the despot of Sicania, had a daughter named Psophis, whom Heracles, though he had intercourse wit founder. From Seirae it is thirty stades to Psophis, by the side of which runs the river Aroaniuse said that it was established by the sons of Psophis. Their account is probable, for in Sicily tooever, of Promachus and Echephron, the sons of Psophis, were no longer distinguished when I saw them. In Psophis is buried Alcmaeon also, the son of Amphiaraus, and his tomb is a building remarkable ng to such a height that even the mountain by Psophis was overshadowed by them.

Cross this and go on for about twenty-five stades, when you will arrive at the ruins of the village Caus, with a sanctuary of Causian Asclepius, built on the road. Thelpusa is some forty stades distant from this sanctuary. It is said that it was named after Thelpusa, a nymph, and that she was a daughter of Ladon. The Ladon rises in springs within the territory of Cleitor, as my account has already set forth.

This sanctuary is on the borders of Thelpusa. In it are images, each no less than seven feet high, of Demeter, her d
