[729] There is now a jump from the SE. to the W. of Thessaly, whence came the cultus of Asklepios, which in historical times had its chief seat in Epidauros, though the temple at Trikka was always famous. (The oldest myth takes us to Lakereia on the Boibeian lake, which we have just left, 711.) Homer does not represent him as anything more than a mortal chieftain, 4.194. κλωμακόεσσαν (“ἅπ. λεγ.”), “τὴν τραχεῖαν καὶ ὄρη ἔχουσαν” Schol. B, “πολλὰ ἀποκλίματα ἔχουσαν, κρημνώδη” Hesych. Der. and reading are alike uncertain. “κλιμακόεσσαν” might perhaps be used of terraced hill-sides, like staircases. For Oichalia and Eurytos see on 595.
