8.21.1 Such is the tale. From the source of the Ladon, Kleitor is sixty stadium-lengths away, and the road from the source of the Ladon is a narrow gorge alongside the river Aroanios. Near the city you will cross the river called the Kleitor. The Kleitor flows into the Aroanios, at a point not more than seven stadium-lengths from the city.

8.21.2 Among the fish in the Aroanios is one called the dappled fish. These dappled fish, it is said, utter a cry like that of the thrush. I have seen fish that have been caught, but I never heard their cry, though I waited by the river even until sunset, at which time the fish were said to cry most.

8.21.3 Kleitor got its name from the son of Azan, and is situated on a level spot surrounded by low hills. The most celebrated sanctuaries of the Clitorians [people of Kleitor] are those of Demeter, Asklepios and, thirdly, Eileithuia … to be, and gave no number for them. The Lycian Olen, an earlier poet, who composed for the Delians, among other hymns, one to Eileithuia, styles her “the clever spinner,” clearly identifying her with fate, and makes her older than Kronos.

8.21.4 Kleitor has also, at a distance of about four stadium-lengths from the city, a sanctuary of the Dioskouroi, under the name of the Great Gods. There are also images of them in bronze. There is also built upon a mountain-top, thirty stadium-lengths away from the city, a temple of Athena Coria will, an image of the goddess.
