Further to the south, another river, called the Phoenix, which has
no great body of water, flows from the same hills, and falls into the
Asopus. Here is the narrowest place of all; for in this part there
is only a causeway wide enough for a single carriage. From the river
Phoenix to Thermopylae is a distance of fifteen furlongs; and in this
space is situate the village called Anthela, which the river Asopus
passes ere it reaches the sea. The space about Anthela is of some
width, and contains a temple of Amphictyonian Ceres, as well as the
seats of the Amphictyonic deputies, and a temple of Amphictyon himself.
