YITTOS (Ancient city) ORCHOMENOS
Huettos: Eth. Huettios. A village of Boeotia, said to have been founded
by the Argive Hyettus, contained in the time of Pausanias a temple of Asclepius,
frequented by the sick for the cure of their diseases, where the deity continued
to be worshipped in the form of a rude stone. Pausanias says that Olmones was
situated 12 stadia to the left of Copae, and Hyettus 7 stadia from Olmones. Forchhammer
places Olmones on the small island of Trelo-Yani in the lake Copais, and Hyettus
at Struviki to the west of this island, where some ancient ruins are found on
a small hill jutting out into the lake.
