Near Megara, a robber named Sciron forced travellers along the narrow cliff-face pathway to wash his feet. While they knelt, he kicked them off the cliff behind them, where they were eaten by a sea monster (or, in some versions, a giant turtle). Sciron was killed by Theseus.

Skejron Megareński zmuszał ludzi do mycia swoich nóg, a gdy to już zrobili, strącał ich ze skały prosto w paszczę olbrzymiego żółwia.
