		Trophonius having disappeared that moment, it was given out that the earth had swallowed him on the same spot; and impious superstition went so far as to place this wicked wretch in the rank of the gods, and to consult his oracle with ceremonies equally painful and mysterious.

		He was a sneaky guy who built, along with his brother Agamedes, a treasury vault for King Hyrieus, but he inserted a removable stone in the wall so that he or his brother could remove it and steal the king's treasures.
		Ultimately Agamedes was trapped inside the vault and, to avoid being identified in the plot, Trophonius cut off his brother's head.
