Passage 8.41.4: Sanctuary of Eurynome at the junction of the Lymax and Neda rivers

Mythic Non-skeptical

Greek Text

σταδίοις δὲ ὅσον δώδεκα ἀνωτέρω Φιγαλίας θερμά τέ ἐστι λουτρὰ καὶ τούτων οὐ πόρρω κάτεισιν ὁ Λύμαξ ἐς τὴν Νέδαν· ᾗ δὲ συμβάλλουσι τὰ ῥεύματα, ἔστι τῆς Εὐρυνόμης τὸ ἱερόν, ἅγιόν τε ἐκ παλαιοῦ καὶ ὑπὸ τραχύτητος τοῦ χωρίου δυσπρόσοδον· περὶ αὐτὸ καὶ κυπάρισσοι πεφύκασι πολλαί τε καὶ ἀλλήλαις συνεχεῖς.

English Translation

About twelve stades beyond Phigalia there are hot baths, and not far from them the river Lymax flows down into the Neda. At the junction of these streams stands the sanctuary of Eurynome, holy from ancient times and difficult of access due to the ruggedness of the place; around it grow many cypress trees, closely clustered together.
