Tilphussa

In Greek mythology, Tilphussa (Τιλφοῦ(σ)σα) is a spring in Boeotia. Tiresias died after he drank water from this spring. Strabo locates the deadly spring below the slopes of Mount Telphosion, near Haliartos and Alalkomenai; he mentions the sanctuary of Tiresias and the temple of Telphousian Apollo, unique to this site. Pausanias noted that a temple consecrated to the Praxidikai was in the vicinity of Tiresias's tomb. The manuscript tradition of Plutarch's Life of Lysander offers a unique report of a spring Kiffousa at Haliartos, in which the infant Bacchus was washed; this must be a scribal error for Tilfousa''.
