Passage 7.5.13: Monument of Rhadine and Leontichus at Samos

Mythic Non-skeptical

Greek Text

Χίοις δὲ ὁ τοῦ Οἰνοπίωνος τάφος θέαν τε παρέχεται καί τινας καὶ λόγους ἐς τοῦ Οἰνοπίωνος τὰ ἔργα· Σαμίοις δὲ κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τὴν ἐς τὸ Ἡραῖον τὸ Ῥαδίνης καὶ Λεοντίχου μνῆμά ἐστι, καὶ τοῖς ὑπὸ ἔρωτος ἀνιωμένοις εὔχεσθαι καθέστηκεν ἰοῦσιν ἐπὶ τὸ μνῆμα. τὰ μὲν δὴ ἐν Ἰωνίᾳ θαύματα πολλά τε καὶ οὐ πολλῷ τινι τῶν ἐν τῇ Ἑλλάδι ἀποδέοντά ἐστιν·

English Translation

The Chians have the tomb of Oenopion, which is worth seeing, and some traditions concerning the deeds of Oenopion. The Samians have, along the road leading to the Heraion, the monument of Rhadine and Leontichus; and it is their custom that persons distressed by love go there to pray at the tomb. In fact, the marvels found in Ionia are numerous and scarcely inferior at all to those in Greece itself.
