Pausanias Description of Greece 2.23.1

[1] As one goes from here along a road [ hodos] called Hollow [ Koilē], there is on the right a temple [ nāos] of Dionysus; the statue [ agalma], they say, is from Euboea. For when the Greeks, as they were returning [ komizesthai] from Troy, met with the shipwreck at Caphereus, those of the Argives who were able to escape to land suffered from cold and hunger. Having prayed that someone of the gods should prove himself a savior [ sōtēr] in their present distress, straightway as they advanced they came upon a cave of Dionysus; in the cave was a statue [ agalma] of the god, and on this occasion wild she-goats had gathered there to escape from the storm. These the Argives killed, using the flesh as food and the skins as clothing. When the storm was over and the Argives, having refitted their ships, were returning [ komizesthai] homeward, they took with them the wooden-image [ xoanon] from the cave, and continue to honor [ tīmân] it to the present day.
