Oracles of Calchas and Podalirius
Oracles of Calchas and Podalirius, on Mount Drion, in South Italy (Daunia). The character and ceremonial of these oracles were similar to each other, and also to the oracle of Amphiaraus at Oropus (see above). (Strabo, vi. p. 284.)

In Daunia, on a hill by the name of Drium, are to be seen two hero-temples: one, to Calchas, on the very summit, where those who consult the oracle sacrifice to his shade a black ram and sleep in the hide, and the other, to Podaleirius, down near the base of the hill, this temple being about one hundred stadia distant from the sea; and from it flows a stream which is a cure-all for diseases of animals.

Foce del Sele, Treasury
Site: Foce del Sele
Type: Treasury
Summary: Treasury building attributed to the Sybarites.
Date: 570 B.C. - 550 B.C.
Period: Archaic
Plan:
The remains of the naos are the end wall to the west and the long walls to a maximum
height of four courses. There is no trace of a pronaos or a wall between pronaos
and naos. Reconstruction remains largely hypothetical.
History:
The erection of the treasury has been attributed to the Sybarites, and its incompleteness
to the destruction of their city.
Other Notes:
Of thirty-eight metopes belonging to the treasury, three are illegible.
