MYCEN^ TO ARGOS. 47

common title both of Jupiter and Diana. The ruins of Phyti are
worth examining, and, as it is not in a route, that Pausanias says the
Heraeum is on the left hand, it is at least a very equivocal direction.
Phyti is at a distance very well corresponding with that of the
Heraeum from Mycenae. It is of great consequence to observe, that
when Pausanias says the Heraeum is to the left of Mycenae, he is not
describing the route from that city to Argos, which idea has occa-
sioned the fruitless searches on the hill south of Krabata. In Hebrew
the south and the right are synonimous, as well as the left and north.
It is worth examining whether the Greeks had any such usage of
these terms. If they had, there would remain no doubt that Phyti
was the site of the Heraeum.

MYCENAE TO ARGOS.

The road from Mycenae to Argos is thus described. Corinthiaca,
60. To the left of the way is the heroic monument of Perseus. A
little beyond this, on the right, is the sepulchre of Thyestes,on which
is placed a marble ram, in the Argive territory. Proceeding thence,
on the left is a place called Mysia, with a temple of Ceres
Mysia. You next come to the river Inachus, having passed which is
the altar of the sun, and then the gate of Argos, called that of Lucina,
from the neighbouring temple. Pausanias.
