Μαντείο του Αμφίλοχου

Ο Παυσανίας αναφέρει ότι το μαντείο του Αμφίλοχου στο Μαλλό ήταν το πιο αξιόπιστο ανάμεσα στα μαντεία της εποχής του (Παυσ. 1,34,3).

Oracle of Mopsus, otherwise called the oracle of Amphilochus, at Mallos in Cilicia. The two rival seers, Mopsus and Amphilochus, had slain each other, and their oracles, which were adjacent, had great celebrity in times succeeding the commencement of our era, and one of the most curious stories connected with oracles is told of that of Mopsus by Plutarch (de Orac. Defect. 45. See also Pausan. i. 34, § 3; Lucian, Pseudom. 28; Tertullian, de An. 46; Dio Cass. lxxii. 7).
