When these are crossed, there is a plain called the plain of Stenyclerus . Stenyclerus was a hero, it is said. Facing the plain is a site anciently called Oechalia , in our time the Carnasian grove, thickly grown with cypresses. There are statues of the gods Apollo Carneius [and Hagne], also Hermes carrying a ram. Hagne (the holy one) is a title of Kore the daughter of Demeter. Water rises from a spring close to the statue.
