Megara (Greece) (search for this): book 2, chapter 34
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）. Just about eighty stades away is a headland Scyllaeum, which is named alter the daughter of Nisus. For when, owing to her treachery,See Paus. 1.19. Minos had taken Nisaea and Megara, he said that now he would not have her to wife, and ordered his Cretans to throw her from the ship. She was drowned, and the waves cast up her body on this headland. They do not show a grave of her, but say that the sea birds were allowed to tear the corpse to pieces. As you sail from Scyllaeum in the direction of the city, you reach another headland, called Bucephala （Ox-head）, and, after the headland, islands, the first of which is Haliussa （Salt Island）. This provides a harb
Argos (Greece) (search for this): book 2, chapter 34
the land of Troezen, is Hermione. The founder of the old city, the Hermionians say, was Hermion, the son of Europs. Now Europs, whose father was certainly Phoroneus, Herophanes of Troezen said was an illegitimate child. For surely the kingdom of Argos would never have devolved upon Argus, Niobe's son, the grandchild of Phoroneus, in the presence of a legitimate son. But even supposing that Europs was a legitimate child who died before Phoroneus, I am quite sure that his son was not likely to stand a fair chance against Niobe's child, whose father was supposed to be Zeus. Subsequently the Dorians from Argos settled, among other places, at Hermion, but I do not think there was war between the two peoples, or it would have been spoken of by the Argives. 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 TheseusSee Paus. 1.27.8, and Paus. 2.32.7. took up the tokens, and people now call it the Rock of T
