Bust of the nymph Herkyna, Livadeia, GreeceThe sacred protector of the [ancient city of Livadeia] was the hero/god Trophonios, whose oracle, involving a harrowing descent into an underground chamber, was famous beyond the borders of Greece. At the springs of the Herkyna river are shallow grottos with niches and marble remnants said to be the site of the oracle. -- source link
