[1] In Haliartos too there is the tomb of Lysander and a hero-shrine of Kekrops the son of Pandion. Mount Tilphousios and the spring called Tilphusa are about fifty stadium-lengths away from Haliartos. The Greeks declare that the Argives, along with the sons of Polyneikes, after capturing Thebes, were bringing Teiresias and some other of the spoil to the god at Delphi, when Teiresias, being thirsty, drank by the wayside of the Tilphusa, and forthwith gave up the ghost; his tomb is by the spring.
