Passage 8.35.9: Ruins of the city Phalanthus on Mount Phalanthus

Mythic Non-skeptical

Greek Text

σταδίους δὲ αὐτόθεν μὲν πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι, Τρικολώνων δὲ ἑκατὸν τοὺς σύμπαντας ἀπέχουσα ἐπί γε τοῦ Ἑλισσόντος, κατὰ δὲ τὴν εὐθεῖαν Μεθυδρίου---αὕτη γὰρ δὴ ἐκ Τρικολώνων ἔτι λείπεται---Ἀνεμῶσά τέ ἐστι χωρίον καὶ ὄρος Φάλανθον, ἐν αὐτῷ δὲ ἐρείπιά ἐστι Φαλάνθου πόλεως· Ἀγελάου δὲ τοῦ Στυμφήλου παῖδα εἶναι τὸν Φάλανθον λέγουσιν.

English Translation

Twenty-five stades from that place, and one hundred stades from Trikolonoi altogether, lies a locality called Anemosa by the river Helisson; and by the direct route from Methydrium—for this one remains further from Trikolonoi—there is a mountain named Phalanthus, where stand the ruins of the city Phalanthus. They say that Phalanthus was the son of Agelaus of Stymphalos.
