Heracleidae
Epithet of Apollo as oracular god; source of the old prophecy that Eurystheus discloses concerning his own burial and posthumous role.
Because I thought, that Hera was mightier far than any oracle, and would not betray me.
yet since this city let me go and shrunk from slaying me, I will reward it with an old oracle of Loxias, which in time will benefit them more than doth appear.
The Trojan Women
Epithet of Apollo, credited with having built the walls/towers of Troy.
how sadly have your own father’s walls, those towers that Loxias reared, shorn from your head the locks your mother fondled, and so often caressed, from which through fractured bones the face of murder grins—briefly to dismiss my shocking theme.
