Tithrone (fem gen sg attic epic ionic)
is an epithet applied to Athena. It is used by Pausanias when he tells
us that Phlya and Myrrhinus have altars of Apollo Dionysodotus,
Artemis Light-bearer, Dionysus Flower-god, the Ismenian nymphs and Earth,
whom they name the Great goddess; a second temple contains altars of Demeter
Anesidora (Sender-up of Gifts), Zeus Ctesius (God of Gain), Tithrone
Athena, the Maid First-born and the goddesses styled August. (Paus.
1.31.4)
