The Balkans. Ancient Greece ["Historical Library" by Diodorus of Sicily (1st century BC): "First of all, Theseus killed the so-called Corinet (Baton), who received this nickname from the club (k & #959; r): Using this defensive weapon, he killed passers-by. Theseus won the second victory over Sinid, who lived in Isma, who bent two pines and tied his hands (captive) to them, immediately let go of the pines. Thus, /pine/ tore bodies with terrible force, and the unfortunate died a terrible death. The third feat was the murder of a wild pig living in Crommion, which, being huge and powerful, killed many people. He punished Theseus and Skyron, who lived in Megarid on the Skyron Rocks, which got its name. Skyron forced the travelers to wash their feet at the top of a steep cliff, and then kicked them into the sea to Turtle with an unexpected kick. At Eleusis, Theseus killed Kerkion, who forced travelers to fight him, defeated them and killed them. After that, Theseus dealt with Procrust, who lived in Corydall in Attica and forced travelers passing by to lie down on a bed, and then those whose bodies were longer, cut off the protruding parts, and those whose bodies were shorter stretched (prokroω) legs, which is why he was nicknamed Procrust (Stretcher)" (trans. O.P. Tsybenko)]: Diod. Sic. IV. 59. 2-5; [Vatican epitome to the "Mythological Library" of Pseudo-Apollodorus: "The third Theseus killed a Crommione pig, named Fairy after the old woman who fed her. Some say about this pig that it was the product of Echidna and Typhon. He was fourth to kill Corinthian Skyron, the son of Pelops, or Poseidon, as some say. Skyron lived on the land of Megar among the rocks called Skyronides by his name, and forced passers-by to wash his feet; when they started washing, he pushed them into the abyss to be eaten a huge turtle. But Theseus grabbed him by the legs and threw him into the sea. Theseus was the fifth to kill Kerkion, the son of Branch and the nymph Argiope, in Eleusis. Kerkion forced passers-by to fight him and killed them in battle. Theseus lifted him into the air and threw him to the ground. Sixth, he killed Damask, whom some call Polypemon. Sitting by the road, he made two beds: one small and the other large. He invited passers-by to come to him and put small people on a large bed, then beat them with a hammer to stretch their bodies to the full length of the bed; he put tall people on a small bed and sawed off parts of the body that did not fit there. So Theseus, having cleared the way, arrived in Athens" (trans. V.G. Borukhovich)]: Apollod. Epit.

For this, Skyron suffered (God's) punishment at the hand of Theseus, who threw him into the same sea" (trans. S.P. Kondratyeva)]: Paus. I. 44. 8; ["The First Vatican Mythograph" (compiled at the turn of the I-II millennium by an unknown medieval compiler): "It is said that Skyron, sitting on a high cliff, forced those passing by him to wash his feet.
