Editing Castalian Spring (section)

==Aftermath and other uses==
A modern fountain currently stands close to the street leading to the archaeological site of Delphi to offer respite to the travelers.
The Castalian Spring fueled poetic inspiration, albeit often confused with the [[Spring of Pieris]]. The [[Castalian Band]], a group of poets or [[makars]] associated with the Court of [[James VI]] of [[Scotland]] (including the king himself) drew their name from this source.

There is a town named [[Castalian Springs, Tennessee|Castalian Springs]] in [[Tennessee]]. A natural spring in this location was a gathering place for animals. Isaac Bledsoe discovered the spring in 1772. Having built a fort in 1783, Bledsoe, his brother, and their families settled near the spring in 1787. Native Americans killed the two brothers, who are now buried 500 yards northwest of the spring. Consequently, this area was known locally as Bledsoe's Lick. In 1828, a log inn was built, providing guests with "healthy" drinking water and mineral baths. Almost ten years later when the post office was built, the community changed its name from Bledsoe's Lick to Castalian Springs. During this period of time in history, there was a reawakening of interest in classical Greece and Rome.

In [[Castalia, Ohio]], named after the famed site, the [[Blue Hole (Castalia)|Blue Hole]] limestone configurations were tourist attractions for many years and are now fish hatcheries. Waters in the blue holes are of a constant temperature and never freeze over despite northern Ohio's cold temperatures. The water which averages 30,000 gallons an hour was first used to supply a local mill.

Castalian Springs was the name of a now-abandoned spa near [[Durant, Mississippi]].<ref name=Miller>Miller, Mary Carol, Mary Rose Carter, and Greg Iles, ''Must See Mississippi: 50 Favorite Places''. Univ. Press of Mississippi. 155-158.</ref>
