Herodotus says Periander killed his wife, lost his heir over it, and stripped the women of Corinth to get her ghost to say where a deposit was

Kind 2: what Herodotus says, written about 150 years later. Periander ruled Corinth from about 627 to 587 BC after his father Cypselus. He killed his wife Melissa. Her father, Procles, tyrant of Epidaurus, asked her two sons who had killed their mother. The younger, Lycophron, stopped speaking to his father. Periander drove him out of the house and fined anyone who sheltered him. He then offered him "the power and wealth which I possess" if he would submit; Lycophron refused and was sent to Corcyra. In old age Periander judged his elder son too dull to rule and summoned Lycophron to succeed him. Lycophron would not come while his father lived. Periander offered to move to Corcyra himself so Lycophron could rule in Corinth. The Corcyreans killed Lycophron to prevent it. In another passage, Periander sent to the oracle of the dead on the Acheron to ask where he had put a deposit left by a guest-friend. Melissa's ghost refused to say: she was cold, because the clothes buried with her had not been burned. Periander summoned the women of Corinth to the temple of Hera, had his guards strip them, and burned the clothes in a pit. The ghost then told him where the deposit was. His nephew Psammetichus succeeded him as the last Cypselid tyrant.
