[2] Before the temple of Artemis Eukleia is a lion made of stone, said to have been dedicated by Hēraklēs after he had conquered in the battle the Orkhomenians and their king, Erginos son of Klymenos. Near it is Apollo surnamed Rescuer, and Hermes called of the Marketplace, another of the votive offerings of Pindar. The pyre of the children of Amphion is about half a stadium-length from the tombs. The ashes from the pyre are still there.
