Mythology
Leaving the kingdom of Corinth to his brother Thoas, Phocus led a colony to the region of Tithorea and Mount Parnassus; the land came to be named Phocis after him.[5]
Phocus was said to have cured the wandering Antiope of her madness, which she had been struck with by Dionysus who was outraged by Dirce's death, and to have married her; they were buried in one and the same grave.[6]
