ΟΙΧΑΛΙΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΕΥΒΟΙΑ
Οι Κέρκωπες ήταν δύο αδέλφια πασίγνωστοι για τις ληστείες και τις απατεωνιές τους. Κάποια φορά προσπάθησαν να κλέψουν τα όπλα του Ηρακλή καθώς εκείνος κοιμόταν. Δεν τα κατάφεραν, όμως, γιατί ο Ηρακλής ξύπνησε και τους έδεσε σε ένα ξύλο με το κεφάλι προς τα κάτω για να τους τιμωρήσει. Καθώς τους μετέφερε κρεμασμένους στους ώμους του, οι Κέρκωπες κατάφεραν να του φτιάξουν τόσο πολύ τη διάθεση με τα αστεία τους, ώστε τους άφησε να φύγουν.
Cercopes (Kerkopes), droll and thievish gnomes who play a part in the story of Heracles. Their number is commonly stated to have been two, but their names are not the same in all accounts: -either Olus and Eurybatus, Sillus and Triballus, Passalus and Aclemon, Andulus and Atlantus, or Candulus and Atlas (Suidas, s. vv.; Schol. ad Lucian. Alex. 4; Tzetz. Chil. v. 75). Diodorus (iv. 31), however, speaks of a greater number of Cercopes. They are called sons of Theia, the daughter of Oceanus; they annoyed and robbed Heracles in his sleep, but they were taken prisoners by him, and either given to Omphale, or killed, or set free again (Tzetz. ad Lycoph. 91). The place in which they seem to have made their first appearance, was Thermopylae (Herod. vii. 216), but the comic poem Kerkopes, which bore the name of Homer, probably placed them at Oechalia in Euboea, whereas others transferred them to Lydia (Suid. s. v. Eurubatos), or the islands called Pithecusae, which derived their name from the Cercopes who were changed into monkeys by Zeus for having cunningly deceived him. (Ov. Met. xiv. 90, &c.; Pomp. Mela, ii. 7)

ΚΑΡΥΣΤΟΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΕΥΒΟΙΑ
Epipole, a daughter of Trachion, of Carystus in Euboea. In the disguise of a man she went with the Greeks against Troy; but when Palamedes discovered her sex, she was stoned to death by the Greek army. (Ptolem. Hephaest. 5.)
Marmarinus (Marmarinos), i.e. the god of marble, a surname of Apollo, who had a sanctuary in the marble quarries at Carystus. (Strab. x. p. 446; Eustath. ad Hom. p. 281.)
Carystus (Karustos), a son of Cheiron and Chariclo, from whom the town of Carystus in Euboea was believed to have derived its name. (Schel. ad Pind. Pyth. iv. 181; Eustath. ad Hom.)
Concerning the Hyperborean people, neither the Scythians nor any other inhabitants of these lands tell us anything, except perhaps the Issedones. And, I think, even they say nothing; for if they did, then the Scythians, too, would have told, just as they tell of the one-eyed men. But Hesiod speaks of Hyperboreans, and Homer too in his poem The Heroes' Sons, if that is truly the work of Homer.
But the Delians say much more about them than any others do. They say that offerings wrapped in straw are brought from the Hyperboreans to Scythia; when these have passed Scythia, each nation in turn receives them from its neighbors until they are carried to the Adriatic sea, which is the most westerly limit of their journey; from there, they are brought on to the south, the people of Dodona being the first Greeks to receive them. From Dodona they come down to the Melian gulf, and are carried across to Euboea, and one city sends them on to another until they come to Carystus; after this, Andros is left out of their journey, for Carystians carry them to Tenos, and Tenians to Delos.
