§1.37.1μετὰ δὲ τοῦ Κηφισοδώρου τὸ μνῆμα τέθαπται μὲν Ἡλιόδωρος Ἅλις· τούτου γραφὴν ἰδεῖν ἔστι καὶ ἐν τῷ ναῷ τῷ μεγάλῳ τῆς Ἀθηνᾶς·
\nAfter the tomb of Cephisodorus is buried on the one hand Heliodorus of Halis; one can see his portrait also in the great temple of Athena.
τέθαπται δὲ Θεμιστοκλῆς Πολιάρχου, τρίτος ἀπόγονος Θεμιστοκλέους τοῦ Ξέρξῃ καὶ Μήδοις ἐναντία ναυμαχήσαντος.
On the other hand is buried Themistocles, the son of Poliarchus, a third-generation descendant of the Themistocles who fought the sea-battle against Xerxes and the Medes.
τοὺς δὲ κατωτέρω τοῦ γένους πλὴν Ἀκεστίου παρήσω τοὺς ἄλλους· Ἀκεστίῳ δὲ τῇ Ξενοκλέους τοῦ Σοφοκλέους τοῦ Λέοντος τούτους τε ἐς τὸν τέταρτον πρόγονον Λέοντα δᾳδούχους πάντας ὑπῆρξε γενέσθαι καὶ παρὰ τὸν βίον τὸν αὑτῆς πρῶτον μὲν τὸν ἀδελφὸν Σοφοκλέα εἶδε δᾳδουχοῦντα, ἐπὶ δὲ τούτῳ τὸν ἄνδρα Θεμιστοκλέα, τελευτήσαντος δὲ καὶ τούτου Θεόφραστον τὸν παῖδα. §1.37.2ταύτῃ μὲν τύχην τοιαύτην συμβῆναι λέγουσι·
I shall pass over the others who are further down in the family line, except Acestium; but for Acestium, the daughter of Xenocles, the son of Sophocles, the son of Leon, it was granted to these men, as far as her fourth ancestor Leon, to all become daduchs (torch-bearers), and during her own lifetime she saw first her brother Sophocles serving as daduch, and after him her husband Themistocles, and when he also had died, her son Theophrastus.\n\nThey say that such a fortune befell her.
προελθοῦσι δὲ ὀλίγον Λακίου τέμενός ἐστιν ἥρωος καὶ δῆμος ὃν Λακιάδας ὀνομάζουσιν ἀπὸ τούτου, καὶ Νικοκλέους Ταραντίνου ἐστὶ μνῆμα, ὃς ἐπὶ μέγιστον δόξης κιθαρῳδῶν ἁπάντων ἦλθεν.
For those who have gone on a little, there is a sanctuary of the hero Lacius, and a deme which they call Laciadae after him, and there is the tomb of Nicocles of Tarentum, who attained the greatest fame of all citharoedes.
ἔστι δὲ καὶ Ζεφύρου τε βωμὸς καὶ Δήμητρος ἱερὸν καὶ τῆς παιδός· σὺν δέ σφισιν Ἀθηνᾶ καὶ Ποσειδῶν ἔχουσι τιμάς.
There is also an altar of Zephyrus, and a sanctuary of Demeter and her daughter; along with them Athena and Poseidon hold honors.
ἐν τούτῳ τῷ χωρίῳ Φύταλόν φασιν οἴκῳ Δήμητρα δέξασθαι, καὶ τὴν θεὸν ἀντὶ τούτων δοῦναί οἱ τὸ φυτὸν τῆς συκῆς· μαρτυρεῖ δέ μοι τῷ λόγῳ τὸ ἐπίγραμμα τὸ ἐπὶ τῷ Φυτάλου τάφῳ· "
ἐνθάδʼ ἄναξ ἥρως Φύταλός ποτε δέξατο σεμνὴν
Δήμητραν, ὅτε πρῶτον ὀπώρας καρπὸν ἔφηνεν,
ἣν ἱερὰν συκῆν θνητῶν γένος ἐξονομάζει· ἐξ οὗ δὴ τιμὰς Φυτάλου γένος ἔσχεν ἀγήρως. " §1.37.3πρὶν δὲ ἢ διαβῆναι τὸν Κηφισὸν Θεοδώρου μνῆμά ἐστι τραγῳδίαν ὑποκριναμένου τῶν καθʼ αὑτὸν ἄριστα.
In this place, they say that Phytalus welcomed Demeter in his home, and the goddess in return for this gave him the plant of the fig-tree; the inscription on the tomb of Phytalus bears witness to my account:\n"\nHere the lord hero Phytalus once welcomed august\nDemeter, when first she brought to light the fruit of autumn,\nwhich the race of mortals names the sacred fig;\nsince which time the family of Phytalus obtained ageless honors.\n"\n \nBut before crossing the Cephisus, there is the tomb of Theodorus, who acted in tragedy best of those in his time.
ἀγάλματα δὲ ἐπὶ τῷ ποταμῷ Μνησιμάχης, τὸ δὲ ἕτερον ἀνάθημα κειρομένου οἱ τὴν κόμην τοῦ παιδός ἐστι τῷ Κηφισῷ· καθεστάναι δὲ ἐκ παλαιοῦ καὶ τοῖς πᾶσι τοῦτο Ἕλλησι τῇ Ὁμήρου τις ἂν τεκμαίροιτο ποιήσει, ὃς τὸν Πηλέα εὔξασθαί φησι τῷ Σπερχειῷ κερεῖν ἀνασωθέντος ἐκ Τροίας Ἀχιλλέως τὴν κόμην. §1.37.4διαβᾶσι δὲ τὸν Κηφισὸν βωμός ἐστιν ἀρχαῖος Μειλιχίου Διός· ἐπὶ τούτῳ Θησεὺς ὑπὸ τῶν ἀπογόνων τῶν Φυτάλου καθαρσίων ἔτυχε, λῃστὰς καὶ ἄλλους ἀποκτείνας καὶ Σίνιν τὰ πρὸς Πιτθέως συγγενῆ.
And by the river there are statues of Mnesimache, and another is a dedication of her son cutting his hair for the Cephisus; and that this has been established of old for all Greeks one might infer from the poetry of Homer, who says that Peleus vowed to the Spercheius that Achilles would cut his hair upon returning safe from Troy.\n\nFor those who have crossed the Cephisus, there is an ancient altar of Zeus Meilichius; at this altar Theseus obtained purification by the descendants of Phytalus, after killing robbers and others, and Sinis who was related to him on Pittheus' side.
τάφος δὲ ἔστι μὲν αὐτόθι Θεοδέκτου τοῦ Φασηλίτου, ἔστι δὲ Μνησιθέου· τοῦτον λέγουσιν ἰατρόν τε ἀγαθὸν γενέσθαι καὶ ἀναθεῖναι ἀγάλματα, ἐν οἷς καὶ ὁ Ἴακχος πεποίηται.
And there is there the tomb of Theodectes of Phaselis, and also that of Mnesitheus; they say that he was a good physician and dedicated statues, among which Iacchus also is made.
ᾠκοδόμηται δὲ κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν ναὸς οὐ μέγας καλούμενος Κυαμίτου· σαφὲς δὲ οὐδὲν ἔχω λέγειν εἴτε πρῶτος κυάμους ἔσπειρεν οὗτος εἴτε τινὰ ἐπεφήμισαν ἥρωα, ὅτι τῶν κυάμων ἀνενεγκεῖν οὐκ ἔστι σφίσιν ἐς Δήμητρα τὴν εὕρεσιν.
By the road is built a temple of no great size called that of Cyamites; but I can say nothing certain whether he first sowed beans or whether they named some hero so, because it is not possible for them to attribute the invention of beans to Demeter.
ὅστις δὲ ἤδη τελετὴν Ἐλευσῖνι εἶδεν ἢ τὰ καλούμενα Ὀρφικὰ ἐπελέξατο, οἶδεν ὃ λέγω. §1.37.5μνημάτων δὲ ἃ μάλιστα ἐς μέγεθος καὶ κόσμον ἥκει, τὸ μὲν ἀνδρός ἐστι Ῥοδίου μετοικήσαντος ἐς Ἀθήνας, τὸ δὲ Ἅρπαλος Μακεδὼν ἐποίησεν, ὃς Ἀλέξανδρον ἀποδρὰς ἐκ τῆς Ἀσίας διέβη ναυσὶν ἐς τὴν Εὐρώπην, ἀφικόμενος δὲ παρʼ Ἀθηναίους ὑπʼ αὐτῶν συνελήφθη, διαφθείρας δὲ χρήμασιν ἄλλους τε καὶ τοὺς Ἀλεξάνδρου φίλους ἀπέδρα, πρότερον δὲ ἔτι Πυθονίκην ἔγημε, γένος μὲν οὐκ οἶδα ὁπόθεν, ἑταιροῦσαν δὲ ἔν τε Ἀθήναις καὶ ἐν Κορίνθῳ· ταύτης ἐς τοσοῦτον ἔρωτος προῆλθεν ὡς καὶ μνῆμα ἀποθανούσης ποιῆσαι πάντων ὁπόσα Ἕλλησίν ἐστιν ἀρχαῖα θέας μάλιστα ἄξιον. §1.37.6ἔστι δὲ ἱερὸν ἐν ᾧ κεῖται Δήμητρος καὶ τῆς παιδὸς ἀγάλματα καὶ Ἀθηνᾶς τε καὶ Ἀπόλλωνος· Ἀπόλλωνι δὲ ἐποιήθη μόνῳ τὸ ἐξ ἀρχῆς.
Anyone who has already seen the initiation at Eleusis or has read what are called the Orphic writings knows what I mean.\n\nOf the tombs which have reached the greatest degree of size and ornament, one is that of a Rhodian man who migrated to Athens, and the other was made by Harpalus the Macedonian, who, having run away from Alexander out of Asia, crossed with ships to Europe, and having arrived among the Athenians was arrested by them, but having bribed with money both others and the friends of Alexander, he ran away; and even before that he had married Pythonice, of whose origin I do not know, but who was a courtesan in Athens and in Corinth; he reached such a degree of love for her that when she died he made a tomb for her which is most worth seeing of all the ancient monuments that the Greeks have.\n\nThere is a sanctuary in which are placed statues of Demeter and her daughter, and both Athena and Apollo; but it was built for Apollo alone from the beginning.
Κέφαλον γὰρ τὸν Δηίονος συνεξελόντα λέγουσιν Ἀμφιτρύωνι Τηλεβόας τὴν νῆσον οἰκῆσαι πρῶτον, ἣ νῦν ἀπʼ ἐκείνου Κεφαλληνία καλεῖται· μετοικεῖν δὲ αὐτὸν τέως ἐν Θήβαις φεύγοντα ἐξ Ἀθηνῶν διὰ τὸν Πρόκριδος τῆς γυναικὸς φόνον.
For they say that Cephalus, the son of Deion, having helped Amphitryon to conquer the Teleboans, was the first to inhabit the island which now is called Cephallenia after him; and that he for a time lived in exile in Thebes, having fled from Athens on account of the murder of his wife Procris.
δεκάτῃ δὲ ὕστερον γενεᾷ Χαλκῖνος καὶ Δαῖτος ἀπόγονοι Κεφάλου πλεύσαντες ἐς Δελφοὺς ᾔτουν τὸν θεὸν κάθοδον ἐς Ἀθήνας· §1.37.7ὁ δέ σφισι κελεύει θῦσαι πρῶτον Ἀπόλλωνι ἐνταῦθα τῆς Ἀττικῆς, ἔνθα ἂν ἴδωσιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς τριήρη θέουσαν.
Ten generations later, Chalcianus and Daetus, descendants of Cephalus, having sailed to Delphi, asked the god for a return to Athens;\n\nthe god commanded them to sacrifice first to Apollo in that part of Attica where they should see a trireme running upon the land.
γενομένοις δὲ αὐτοῖς κατὰ τὸ ποικίλον καλούμενον ὄρος δράκων ἐφάνη σπουδῇ κατὰ τὸν φωλεὸν ἰών· καὶ Ἀπόλλωνί τε θύουσιν ἐν τῷ χωρίῳ τούτῳ καὶ ὕστερον σφᾶς ἐλθόντας ἐς τὴν πόλιν ἀστοὺς ἐποιήσαντο Ἀθηναῖοι.
When they were near the mountain called Poicilum, a serpent appeared running in haste towards its hole; and they sacrificed to Apollo in this place, and later when they came to the city, the Athenians made them citizens.
—μετὰ δὲ τοῦτο Ἀφροδίτης ναός ἐστι καὶ πρὸ αὐτοῦ τεῖχος ἀργῶν λίθων θέας ἄξιον.
After this there is a temple of Aphrodite, and in front of it a wall of rough stones worth seeing.
