Pausanias describes the marble as difficult to work, but when wrought forming beautiful decorations for temples, baths, and fountains.
[1] The most celebrated of the Corinthian baths was adorned with marble from the quarries at Croceae.
[2] A number of blocks of green Laconian porphyry from the quarries at Croceae have been found in the Minoan palace at Knossos.
[3] These quarries were discovered by the French Commission two miles (3 km) southeast of Krokees (formerly, Levétzova); and near the village have been found some blocks of marble, probably the remains of the statue of Zeus Croceates.
A memorial of the worship of the Dioscuri at this place still exists in a bas-relief, representing the two gods with their horses: beneath is a Latin inscription.
