[4] The most famous things in the grove are a temple and image of Trophonios; the image, made by Praxiteles, is after the likeness of Asklepios. There is also a sanctuary of Demeter surnamed Europa, and a Zeus Rain-god in the open. If you go up to the oracle, and thence onwards up the mountain, you come to what is called the Maiden’s Hunting and a temple of King Zeus. This temple they have left half finished, either because of its size or because of the long succession of the wars. In a second temple are images of Kronos, Hērā and Zeus. There is also a sanctuary of Apollo.
