Tithorea is, I should guess, about one hundred and eighty stades distant from Delphi on the road across Parnassus . This road is not mountainous throughout, being fit even for vehicles, but was said to be several stades longer. I am aware that Herodotus¹ in his account of the Persian invasion gives the town a different name from that given to it in the oracles of Bacis.
