( or
1. A famous robber who haunted the frontier between Attica and Megaris, and not only robbed
the travellers who passed through the country, but compelled them, on the Scironian rock to
wash his feet, during which operation he kicked them with his foot into the sea. At the foot
of the rock there was a tortoise, which devoured the bodies of the robber's victims. He was
slain by Theseus, in the same manner in which he had killed others (Plut. Thes. 10 ;
ad Eur. Hipp. 976 ;
