Titane (Sicyon)
Titane (
Machaon, the son of Asclepius. This temple still existed in the time of Pausanias (2nd century), in the middle of a grove of cypress trees, in which the servants of the god attended to the patients who came thither for the recovery of their health. Within the temple stood statues of Asclepius and Hygieia, and of the heroes Alexanor and Euamerion. There was also a temple of Athena at Titane, situated upon a hill, and containing an ancient wooden statue of the goddess. In descending from the hill there was an altar of the Winds.[1]
Its site is located near the modern village of Titani.[3][4]
