82 TEGEA BY STENO TO NAUPLIA.

Iero by the guides. Soon after this the road joins the great road from
Tripolizza to Argos, crossing it and passing to the south of it at the
khan in the valley.

Hence proceeding down a long rocky slope frequently in the bed
of a torrent, reach a cultivated plain on the coast, a little south of the
mills upon the Alcyonian lake near Lerna.

From the mills now called Mylae, which have given name to the
place, and where, if necessary, a lodging may be found, there is a road
on the beach to Nauplia; but a guide is necessary on account of the
rivers in the way. There is a bridge over one of the outlets of
Lerna.

" Those who go from Lerna to Temenium see the mouth of the
Phrixus. At Temenium is a temple of Neptune and another of
Venus, also a sepulchre of Temenos. Temenos is distant from Nau-
plia, as I think, 50 stadia/' Pausanias Argolica.

The Lernaean marsh lies on the left, formed by the rivers Phrixus
and Erasinus. In the way may be observed certain rocks or stones
nearly on a level with the surface of the sea. The guides call the
place Scala, which implies a port. The ruins of the town and port
of Temenium were probably on that spot. The mills are about two
hours 30 minutes distant from Nauplia.
