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.
