[36] Ἀλαλκομενῶν τοίνυν μέμνηται ὁ ποιητής, ἀλλ᾽ οὐκ ἐν καταλόγῳ ‘Ἥρη τ᾽ Ἀργείη καὶ Ἀλαλκομενηὶς Ἀθήνη.’ ἔχει δ᾽ ἀρχαῖον ἱερὸν Ἀθηνᾶς σφόδρα τιμώμενον, καί φασί γε τὴν θεὸν γεγενῆσθαι ἐνθάδε, καθάπερ καὶ τὴν Ἥραν ἐν Ἄργει, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο τὸν ποιητὴν ὡς ἀπὸ πατρίδων τούτων ἀμφοτέρας οὕτως ὀνομάσαι. διὰ τοῦτο δ᾽ ἴσως οὐδ᾽ ἐν τῷ καταλόγῳ μέμνηται τῶν [p. 584] ἐνταῦθα ἀνδρῶν, ἐπειδὴ ἱεροὶ ὄντες παρεῖντο τῆς στρατείας. καὶ γὰρ καὶ ἀπόρθητος ἀεὶ διετέλεσεν ἡ πόλις, οὔτε μεγάλη οὖσα οὔτ᾽ ἐν εὐερκεῖ χωρίῳ κειμένη, ἀλλ᾽ ἐν πεδίῳ: τὴν δὲ θεὸν σεβόμενοι πάντες ἀπείχοντο πάσης βίας, ὥστε καὶ Θηβαῖοι κατὰ τὴν τῶν Ἐπιγόνων στρατείαν ἐκλιπόντες τὴν πόλιν ἐκεῖσε λέγονται καταφεύγειν καὶ εἰς τὸ ὑπερκείμενον ὄρος ἐρυμνὸν τὸ Τιλφώσσιον, ὑφ᾽ ᾧ Τιλφῶσσα κρήνη καὶ τὸ τοῦ Τειρεσίου μνῆμα ἐκεῖ τελευτήσαντος κατὰ τὴν φυγήν.
