Sciron held the rocks called after him Scironian and threw travellers into the sea, until Theseus threw him down. Apollodorus, Epitome 1.2 Past the Molurian rock, the rocks were held accursed: Sciron dwelt by them and cast into the sea every stranger he met, where a tortoise seized them; Theseus cast him into the same sea. Pausanias 1.44.8
