    Hymn 3 to Delian and Pythian ApolloClassical · Greek

    Onchestus is Poseidon's grove, marked by a chariot ritual and prayers to the shrine's lord.

    And further still you went, O far-shooting Apollo, and came to Onchestus, Poseidon's bright grove:

    and if they break the chariot in the woody grove, men look after the horses, but tilt the chariot and leave it there;

    IsthmeanClassical · Greek

    A sacred Boeotian site of Poseidon, invoked alongside the Isthmus in connection with Asopodorus's family.

    The shaker of the earth who dwells at Onchestus and at the sea-bridge before the walls of Corinth, by offering to that family this marvellous song, wakes from her bed their ancient fame for glorious deeds.
    chapter 4
    But I, arraying with song Poseidon and the sacred Isthmus and the shores of Onchestus, shall tell, along with the honors of this man, the very famous fortune of his father Asopodorus and of his ancestral land of Orchomenus, which received him from the boundless sea when he was hard-pressed by shipwreck, in chilly misfortune.
