5.43.1
There Antichares, a man of Eleon, note advised him, on the basis of the oracles of Laius, to plant a colony at Heraclea in Sicily, for Heracles note himself, said Antichares, had won all the region of Eryx, which accordingly belonged to his descendants. When Dorieus heard that, he went away to Delphi to enquire of the oracle if he should seize the place to which he was preparing to go. The priestess responded that it should be so, and he took with him the company that he had led to Libya and went to Italy.
