Giuseppe Pitre, in his Feste Patronali in Sicilia, gives an account of the procession on the mountain held in 1752.

The citizens also of Segestum applied on behalf of "the Temple of Venus on Mount Eryx; which fallen through age, they desired might be restored." They represented the story of its origin and antiquity; a well-pleasing flattery to Tiberius; who frankly took upon himself the charge, as kinsman to the Goddess.
"He passed the Eryx Rocks at daylight. He is at Sainte-Ylva now. Tonight, when I see his comrade’s lantern, I shall stop him and report. But in the meanwhile I must go out and search." "Spare thyself for the trenches, Jacques. Remain indoors today." She began to unpin the coiffe which she always wore ceremoniously at meals when he was present. He smiled: "Thou knowest I must go, Marie-Josephine."
Eryx lay about seven miles to the north-east of Motya, in a very strong position. The summit was levelled and turned into a platform, on which was raised the temple of Astarte or Venus. There were springs of water within the walls which yielded an unfailing supply.

The airman, still devouring his bread and meat, nodded in silence. "That is how it happened," said Wayland. "The French authorities notified me. There was a little money and this hut, and Marie-Josephine.
And as the cobbler from Mount Eryx found his opportunity in the Death of Bradamante at Trapani, so the voice at Palermo would surely have done something with the Blinding of Samson something perhaps not unworthy of Total Eclipse.
Hamilcar had at first established himself on Mount Ercte, overhanging Panormus, whence he made constant descents upon the enemy, ravaging the coast as far as Mount Ætna. Suddenly he quitted this place and occupied Mount Eryx, another height, overlooking Drepanum, where he supported himself two years longer, and the Romans despaired of dislodging him.
God send that the rocks of the Isle des Chouans take care of her with their teeth!" He drank his cider a sip or two only then, setting aside the glass: "I went from the Rocks of Eryx to Laïs Woods. I called as loudly as I could; the wind whirled my voice back into my throat.... I am not yet very strong.... "Then I went into the wood as far as my strength permitted.
