====Boeotia==== Typhon's final resting place was apparently also said to be in [[Boeotia]].<ref>Fontenrose, [https://books.google.com/books?id=wqeVv09Y6hIC&pg=PA78 pp. 78β79]; Fowler 2013, [https://books.google.com/books?id=scd8AQAAQBAJ&pg=PA29 p. 29].</ref> The [[Hesiodic]] ''[[Shield of Heracles]]'' names a mountain near [[Thebes, Greece|Thebes]] Typhaonium, perhaps reflecting an early tradition which also had Typhon buried under a [[Boeotia]]n mountain.<ref>[[Hesiod]], ''[[Shield of Heracles]]'' [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0020.tlg003.perseus-eng1:1-38 32β33]; compare with [[Dio Chrysostom]], [https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Dio_Chrysostom/Discourses/1*.html#67 1.67], who speaks of a mountain peak near Thebes named for Typhon. See also [[Tzetzes]] on [[Lycophron]] ''Alexandra'' [https://archive.org/stream/isaakioukaiiann00mlgoog#page/n531/mode/2up 177]. For other sources see Fontenrose, [https://books.google.com/books?id=wqeVv09Y6hIC&pg=PA78 pp.78β79]; Fowler 2013, [https://books.google.com/books?id=scd8AQAAQBAJ&pg=PA29 p. 29].</ref> And some apparently claimed that Typhon was buried beneath a mountain in Boeotia, from which came exhalations of fire.<ref>Fontenrose, [https://books.google.com/books?id=wqeVv09Y6hIC&pg=PA79 p. 79], who theorizres that, while there are no volcanoes in Boeotia, if any credence can be given to such accounts, these fiery exhalations (''anadoseis'') "were probably ground-fires such as are attested near Trapezos on the lower slopes of [[Mount Lykaion]] in [[Arcadia (ancient region)|Arcadia]]", see [[Pausanias (geographer)|Pausanias]], [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0525.tlg001.perseus-eng1:8.29.1 8.29.1].</ref>
