One towards the East, i.e. towards [[Megara]], reading: "''Here is not Peloponnesus, but [[Ionia]]''" ({{lang|grc|τάδ᾽ οὐχὶ Πελοπόννησος, ἀλλ᾽ Ἰωνία}}) and the one towards the West, i.e. towards the Peloponnese: "''Here is Peloponnesus, not Ionia''" ({{lang|grc|τάδ᾽ ἐστὶ Πελοπόννησος, οὐκ Ἰωνία}}); [[Plutarch]] ascribed the erection of the stele to the Attic hero [[Theseus]], on his way to [[Athens]].<ref>[[Plutarch]], Parallel Lives , Theseus [http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A2008.01.0067%3Achapter%3D25 Plut.
