CHALKIS (Ancient city) EVIA
A fountain close to Chalcis in Euboea, which was sometimes disturbed by volcanic
agency. Dicaearchus says that its water was so abundant as to be sufficient to
supply the whole city with water. (Dicaearch. Bios tes Hellados, p. 146, ed. Fuhr;
Strab. i. p. 58, x. p. 449; Eurip. Iphig. in Aul. 170; Plin. iv. 12.) There were
tame fish kept in this fountain. (Athen. viii. p. 331, e. f.) Leake says that
this celebrated fountain has now totally disappeared. (Northern Greece, vol. ii.
p. 255.)
