Editing Hyrieus (section)

=== Treasury ===
Hyrieus hired [[Trophonius]] and [[Agamedes]] to build a [[treasure]] chamber for him but they also built a [[secret passage|secret entrance]] to it, so that the treasury was easily accessible by removing just one stone from the outside. Using the secret entrance, they would come and steal some of Hyrieus' possessions. He was dumbfounded at discovering that his fortune was diminishing while the locks and seals remained intact; to catch the thief, he laid a snare. Agamedes was trapped in it; Trophonius cut off his brother's head so that Hyrieus would never know the thief's identity, and himself disappeared in a chasm of the earth.<ref>[[Pausanias (geographer)|Pausanias]], 9.37.5–6</ref>
