In Greek mythology Tilphussa (Τιλφοῦ(σ)σα) is a spring in Boeotia. Tiresias died after he drank water from this spring. Strabo locates the deadly spring below the slopes of Mount Telphosion near Haliartos and Alalkomenai; he mentions the sanctuary of Tiresias and the temple of Telphousian Apollo unique to this site. Pausanias noted that a temple consecrated to the Praxidikai was in the vicinity of Tiresias’ tomb.
