According to Plato's mapping of the channels of transmission, following options should be considered: first, the so-called mythmakers, hoi muthopoioi , namely, the composers of narratives, first and foremost Homer and Hesiod, these are what we would identify today as literary channels of transmission. Second, hoi epituchontes the accidental, that is, non-professional, transmitters, first and foremost mothers and nurses, who impress stories created by those belonging to the first category of storytellers upon the children's minds. It checks the applicability of the categories introduced by Plato to the transmission of the Oreithyia myth. It divides the literary and non-literary sources into three periods: (a) before 480 BCE, that is, before the foundation of the Ilissus sanctuary; (b) between 480 and 350 BCE, the latter roughly corresponding to the composition of the Phaedrus; (c) between 350 BCE and the second century CE, the time of Pausanias' tour of Athens. Keywords: Ilissus sanctuary; Oreithyia myth; Phaedrus; Plato
