Trophonius was the son of Appollo
Apollo and had a Temple erectid
in honor of him in a wood
near Labadia a town in Baetia
where by the help of the Priests
he became famous for giving
Oracles any dreams. - Whoever
came to enquire his Fate was
first obliged for several days
to pass through a long formality
of Charms Ablutions and Sa-
crifices and when judged fit to
be admitted he was washed,
Drank of two springs, was annointed
with oil, brought to worship
the statue of Trophonius
