VOURA (Ancient city) DIAKOPTO
On descending from Bura towards the sea you come to a river
called Buraicus, and to a small Heracles in a cave. He too is surnamed Buraicus,
and here one can divine by means of a tablet and dice. He who inquires of the
god offers up a prayer in front of the image, and after the prayer he takes four
dice, a plentiful supply of which are placed by Heracles, and throws them upon
the table. For every figure made by the dice there is an explanation expressly
written on the tablet.
Isis too has a sanctuary.
There is a temple here of Demeter, one of Aphrodite and Dionysus, and a third of Eileithyia. The images are of Pentelic marble, and were made by Eucleides of Athens. There is drapery for Demeter.
