§9.3.14Πανοπεὺς δʼ ὁ νῦν Φανοτεύς, ὅμορος τοῖς περὶ Λεβάδειαν τόποις, ἡ τοῦ Ἐπειοῦ πατρίς.
Panopeus, which is now Phanoteus, bordering on the regions around Lebadeia, is the homeland of Epeius.
καὶ τὰ περὶ τὸν Τιτυὸν δὲ ἐνταῦθα μυθεύουσιν.
And the stories about Tityus are also mythologized here.
Ὅμηρος δέ φησιν ὅτι οἱ Φαίηκες τὸν Ῥαδάμανθυν εἰς Εὔβοιαν
ἤγαγον, ὀψόμενον Τιτυὸν γαιήϊον υἱόν. καὶ Ἐλάριόν τι σπήλαιον ἀπὸ τῆς Τιτυοῦ μητρὸς Ἐλάρας δείκνυται κατὰ τὴν νῆσον καὶ ἡρῷον τοῦ Τιτυοῦ καὶ τιμαί τινες.
Homer says that the Phaeacians brought Rhadamanthys to Euboea to see Tityus, the son of Earth: "to see Tityus, the son of Earth." And a certain cave called Elarion, derived from Tityus' mother Elara, is pointed out on the island, as well as a hero-shrine of Tityus and certain honors.
πλησίον δὲ Λεβαδείας καὶ ἡ Τραχίν, ὁμώνυμος τῇ Οἰταίᾳ, Φωκικὴ πολίχνη· οἱ δʼ ἐνοικοῦντες Τραχίνιοι λέγονται. §9.3.15ἡ δʼ Ἀνεμώρεια ὠνόμασται ἀπὸ τοῦ συμβαίνοντος πάθους· καταιγίζει γὰρ εἰς αὐτὴν ὁ καλούμενος Κατοπτήριος χῶρος, κρημνός τις ἀπὸ τοῦ Παρνασσοῦ διήκων·
Near Lebadeia is also Trachin, a Phocian town homonymous with the one in Oetaea; its inhabitants are called Trachinians. Anemoreia is named after the phenomenon that occurs there; for the place called Catoptrius, a cliff extending from Parnassus, blows down storms upon it.
ὅριον δʼ ἦν ὁ τόπος οὗτος Δελφῶν τε καὶ Φωκέων, ἡνίκα ἀπέστησαν τοὺς Δελφοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ κοινοῦ συστήματος τῶν Φωκέων Λακεδαιμόνιοι καὶ ἐπέτρεψαν καθʼ αὑτοὺς πολιτεύεσθαι·
This place was the boundary between the Delphians and the Phocians when the Lacedaemonians detached the Delphians from the common league of the Phocians and permitted them to govern themselves.
τινὲς δὲ Ἀνεμώλειαν καλοῦσιν.
Some call it Anemoleia.
εἶθʼ Ὑάμπολις (Ὕα μετὰ ταῦτα ἐκλήθη ὑπό τινων), εἰς ἣν ἐκ Βοιωτίας ἐκπεσεῖν ἔφαμεν τοὺς Ὕαντας·
Then Hyampolis (afterwards called Hya by some), into which we said the Hyantes fled from Boeotia; this also is situated very much in the interior, near Parapotamioi, being different from the Hyampeia on Parnassus.
ἔστι δʼ ἐν τῇ μεσογαίᾳ μάλιστα καὶ αὕτη, πλησίον τῶν Παραποταμίων, ἑτέρα οὖσα τῆς ἐν τῷ Παρνασσῷ Ὑαμπεί, καὶ Ἐλάτεια ἡ μεγίστη πόλις τῶν Φωκικῶν, ἣν Ὅμηρος μὲν οὐκ οἶδε (νεωτέρα γάρ ἐστι τῆς ἡλικίας ἐκείνου), ἐπικαιρίως δʼ ἵδρυται πρὸς τὰς ἐκ τῆς Θετταλίας εἰσβολάς.
And Elateia, the largest city of the Phocians, which Homer does not know (for it is younger than his time), is opportunely situated against invasions from Thessaly.
δηλοῖ δὲ τὴν εὐφυΐαν ταύτην καὶ Δημοσθένης, φράζων τὸν θόρυβον τὸν γενηθέντα Ἀθήνησιν αἰφνιδίως, ἐπειδὴ ἧκέ τις ἀπαγγέλλων ὡς τοὺς πρυτάνεις ὡς Ἐλάτεια κατείληπται. §9.3.16Παραποτάμιοι δʼ εἰσὶ κατοικία τις ἐπὶ τῷ Κηφισσῷ ἱδρυμένη πλησίον Φανοτεῦσι καὶ Χαιρωνεῦσι καὶ Ἐλατείᾳ.
Demosthenes also shows this advantageous position, describing the confusion that arose suddenly at Athens when someone came announcing to the prytaneis that Elateia had been captured. Parapotamioi is a settlement established on the Cephissus near Phanoteus, Chaeroneia, and Elateia.
φησὶ δὲ Θεόπομπος τὸν τόπον τοῦτον διέχειν τῆς μὲν Χαιρωνείας ὅσον τετταράκοντα σταδίους, διορίζειν δὲ τοὺς Ἀμβρυσέας καὶ Πανοπέας καὶ Δαυλιέας· κεῖσθαι δʼ ἐπὶ τῆς ἐμβολῆς τῆς ἐκ Βοιωτίας εἰς Φωκέας ἐν λόφῳ μετρίως ὑψηλῷ, μεταξὺ τοῦ τε Παρνασσοῦ καὶ τοῦ ρους πενταστάδιον σχεδόν τι ἀπολειπόντων ἀνρίον, διαιρεῖν δὲ τὸν Κηφισσὸν στενὴν ἑκατέρωθεν διδόντα πάροδον, τὰς μὲν ἀρχὰς ἐκ Λιλαίας ἔχοντα Φωκικῆς πόλεως (καθάπερ καὶ Ὅμηρός φησιν
οἵ τε Λίλαιαν ἔχον πηγῇς ἔπι Κηφισσοῖο
), εἰς δὲ τὴν Κωπαΐδα λίμνην ἐκδιδόντα·
Theopompus says that this place is about forty stadia distant from Chaeroneia, and divides the Ambryseans, Panopeans, and Daulians; and that it lies at the entrance from Boeotia into Phocis on a moderately high hill, between Parnassus and Mount Hedylium, leaving a distance of nearly five stadia from each other, and that the Cephissus divides them, giving a narrow passage on either side, having its sources in Lilaea, a Phocian city (as Homer also says: 'and those who held Lilaea at the sources of Cephissus'), and emptying into Lake Copais.
τὸ δὲ Ἁδύλιον παρατείνειν ἐφʼ ἑξήκοντα σταδίους μέχρι τοῦ Ἀκοντίου, ἐφʼ ᾧ κεῖται ὁ Ὀρχομενός.
And Mount Hedylium extends sixty stadia as far as Acontium, on which Orchomenus is situated.
καὶ Ἡσίοδος δʼ ἐπὶ πλέον περὶ τοῦ ποταμοῦ λέγει καὶ τῆς ῥύσεως, ὡς διʼ ὅλης ῥέοι τῆς Φωκίδος σκολιῶς καὶ δρακοντοειδῶς
παρὲκ Πανοπῆα διὰ Γλήχωνά τʼ ἐρυμνὴν καί τε διʼ Ὀρχομενοῦ εἱλιγμένος εἶσι δράκων ὥς. τὰ δὲ στενὰ τὰ περὶ τοὺς Παραποταμίους ἢ τὴν Παραποταμίαν (λέγεται γὰρ ἀμφοτέρως) περιμάχητα ὑπῆρξεν ἐν τμῳ, μίαν ἐχόντων ταύτην ἐμβολὴν·
Hesiod also speaks at greater length about the river and its flow, that it flows through the whole of Phocis crookedly and like a serpent: 'past Panopeus and through fortified Glechon, and winding through Orchomenus it goes like a serpent.' The pass around Parapotamioi or Parapotamia (for it is called both ways) was fought over in the Phocian Wars, as those who invaded Phocis from Boeotia had only this entrance.
ἔστι δὲ Κηφισσὸς ὅ τε Φωκικὸς καὶ ὁ Ἀθήνησι καὶ ὁ ἐν Σαλαμῖνι, τέταρτος δὲ καὶ πέμπτος ὁ ἐν Σικυῶνι καὶ ὁ ἐν Σκύρῳ, ἐν Ἀπολλωνίᾳ δὲ τῇ πρὸς Ἐπιδάμνῳ πηγή ἐστι κατὰ τὸ γυμνάσιον, ἣν καλοῦσι Κηφισσόν. §9.3.17Δαφνοῦς δὲ νῦν μὲν κατέσκαπται· ἦν δέ ποτε τῆς Φωκίδος πόλις ἁπτομένη τῆς Εὐβοϊκῆς θαλάττης, διαιροῦσα τοὺς Ἐπικνημιδίους Λοκρούς, τοὺς μὲν ἐπὶ τὸ πρὸς Βοιω Φωκίδα τὴν ἀπὸ θαλάττης καθήκ.
There is a Cephissus in Phocis, one at Athens, one in Salamis, and a fourth and fifth in Sicyon and Scyros; and in Apollonia near Epidamnus there is a spring near the gymnasium which they call Cephissus. Daphnus is now razed to the ground; but it was once a city of Phocis touching the Euboean Sea, dividing the Epicnemidian Locrians, extending Phocis from the sea to the side facing Boeotia.
τεκμήριον δὲ τὸ ἐν αὐτῷ Σχεδιεῖον, ὅ φασιν εἶναι τάφον Σχεδίου.
The proof of this is the Schedieium in it, which they say is the tomb of Schedius.
ται δὲ ὁ Δαφνοῦς ἐφʼ ἑκάτερα τὴν Λοκρίδα ε μηδαμοῦ ἅπτεσθαι ἀλλήλων τούς τʼ Ἐπικνημιὺς Ὀπουντίους· ὕστερον δὲ προσωρίσθη τοῖς πος.
Daphnus cuts Locris on both sides so that the Epicnemidian and Opuntian Locrians nowhere touch each other; but later it was annexed to the Locrians.
περὶ μὲν δὴ τῆς Φωκίδος ἀπόχρη.
This is enough concerning Phocis.
