'Of Phocis two cities are most eminent, Delphi and Elateia. Delphi, because of the temple of Pythian Apollo and the oracle, which is ancient, since Agamemnon had been given an oracle as said by the poet; for the quitar player is introduced singing: "the quarrel of Odysseus and Achilles, son of Peleus, how once they strove-Agamemnon, king of men, felt rejoice, for thus Phoivos Apollo, at giving response to him at Pytho, told him it should be." From Strabo's Geography. Book 9:3(2).
