Passage 10.11.1: Cnidian statues at Delphi depicting Triopas and the wounded Tityus

Mythic Non-skeptical

Greek Text

πλησίον δὲ τοῦ ἀναθήματος τοῦ Ταραντίνων Σικυωνίων ἐστὶ θησαυρός· χρήματα δὲ οὔτε ἐνταῦθα ἴδοις ἂν οὔτε ἐν ἄλλῳ τῶν θησαυρῶν. Κνίδιοι δὲ ἐκόμισαν ἀγάλματα ἐς Δελφοὺς Τριόπαν οἰκιστὴν τῆς Κνίδου παρεστῶτα ἵππῳ καὶ Λητὼ καὶ Ἀπόλλωνά τε καὶ Ἄρτεμιν ἀφιέντας τῶν βελῶν ἐπὶ Τιτυόν· ὁ δὲ καὶ τετρωμένος ἐστὶν ἤδη τὸ σῶμα.

English Translation

Near the offering of the Tarentines is the treasury of the Sicyonians; yet here, as indeed in all of the treasuries, you will not find money. The Cnidians brought statues to Delphi depicting Triopas, the founder of Cnidus, standing beside a horse, and Leto, Apollo, and Artemis shooting arrows at Tityus; the latter already appears wounded in his body.
