Passage 10.13.7: Herakles and Apollo struggling for the tripod.

Mythic Non-skeptical

Greek Text

Ἡρακλῆς δὲ καὶ Ἀπόλλων ἔχονται τοῦ τρίποδος καὶ ἐς μάχην περὶ αὐτοῦ καθίστανται· Λητὼ μὲν δὴ καὶ Ἄρτεμις Ἀπόλλωνα, Ἀθηνᾶ δὲ Ἡρακλέα ἐπέχουσι τοῦ θυμοῦ. Φωκέων καὶ τοῦτό ἐστιν ἀνάθημα, ὅτε σφίσιν ἐπὶ τοὺς Θεσσαλοὺς Τελλίας ἡγήσατο Ἠλεῖος. τὰ μὲν δὴ ἄλλα ἀγάλματα Δίυλλός τε ἐν κοινῷ καὶ Ἀμυκλαῖος , τὴν δὲ Ἀθηνᾶν καὶ Ἄρτεμιν Χίονίς ἐστιν εἰργασμένος· Κορινθίους δὲ εἶναί φασιν αὐτούς.

English Translation

Herakles and Apollo are gripping the tripod and preparing to fight over it. Leto and Artemis hold Apollo back, while Athena restrains Herakles' anger. This offering, too, is from the Phokians, dedicated when Tellias the Elean led them against the Thessalians. The rest of the statues were, on the whole, made by Diyllos and Amyklaios, but Athena and Artemis are the work of Chionis; these sculptors are said to have been Corinthians.
