ἐκ δὲ τῆς ἀκροπόλεως κατιοῦσιν, ᾗ πρὸς ἄρκτον τέτραπται τὸ χωρίον, μνῆμά ἐστιν Ἀλκμήνης πλησίον τοῦ Ὀλυμπιείου. βαδίζουσαν γὰρ ἐς Θήβας ἐξ Ἄργους τελευτῆσαι καθʼ ὁδὸν λέγουσιν αὐτὴν ἐν τοῖς Μεγάροις, καὶ τοὺς Ἡρακλείδας ἐς ἀμφισβήτησιν ἐλθεῖν, τοὺς μὲν ἐς Ἄργος ἐθέλοντας ὀπίσω κομίσαι τὸν νεκρὸν τῆς Ἀλκμήνης, τοὺς δʼ αὐτῶν ἐς Θήβας· καὶ γὰρ τοῖς Ἡρακλέους παισὶ τοῖς ἐκ Μεγάρας τάφον εἶναι καὶ Ἀμφιτρύωνος ἐν Θήβαις. ὁ δὲ ἐν Δελφοῖς θεὸς ἔχρησε θάψαι Ἀλκμήνην ἐν τοῖς Μεγάροις ἄμεινον εἶναί σφισιν.
