ΜΑΙΝΑΛΟΝ (Χιονοδρομικό κέντρο) ΑΡΚΑΔΙΑ
Η Φιαλώ συνευρέθηκε με τον Ηρακλή. Ο πατέρας της Αλκιμέδων μόλις γέννησε την εγκατάλειψε δέσμια στο βουνό μαζί με το παιδί που γέννησε, τον Αιχμαγόρα. Οταν το μικρό άρχισε να κλαίει, το άκουσε η κίσσα (καρακάξα) και από τότε λένε μιμείται το κλάμα του παιδιού. Περνώντας ο Ηρακλής άκουσε την κίσσα, νόμισε ότι ήταν κάποιο μικρό παιδί και πήγε στο μέρος απ' όπου ακουγόταν, όπου βρήκε τη Φιαλώ με το γιο του και τους έσωσε (Παυσ. 8,12,3-4).

ΚΟΝΔΥΛΕΑ (Αρχαία τοποθεσία) ΛΕΒΙΔΙ
Apanchomene, the strangled (goddess), a surname of Artemis, the origin of which is thus related by Pausanias (viii. 23.5). In the neighbourhood of the town of Caphyae in Areadia, in a place called Condylea, there was a sacred grove of Artemis Condyleatis. On one occasion when some boys were playing in this grove, they put a string round the goddess' statue, and said in their jokes they would strangle Artemis. Some of the inhabitants of Caphyae who found the boys thus engaged in their sport, stoned them to death. After this occurrence, all the women of Caphyae had premature births, and all the children were brought dead into the world. This calamity did not cease until the boys were honourably buried, and an annual sacrifice to their manes was instituted in accordance with the command of an oracle of Apollo. The surname of Condyleatis was then changed into Apanchomene.

ΚΑΦΥΑΙ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΛΕΒΙΔΙ
Bacis (Bakis), seems to have been originally only a common noun derived from bazein
to speak, and to have signified any prophet or speaker. In later times, however,
Bacis was regarded as a proper noun, and the ancients distinguish several seers
of this name.
