Note 75 — Chapter I · THE CONQUESTS OF ALEXANDER
Reading edition
See Maury, Rel. de la Grèce, t. III. cc. 15, 16. Aristophanes, Horae fragment 1 of Didot, and Aves, l. 874, is practically the earliest witness for their introduction into Athens. Cf. the Scholiast upon the last passage quoted, for their identification with Greek deities. M. Paul Foucart, Les Associations Religieuses chez les Grecs, Paris, 1873, pp. 57 and 85, shows the great rush of foreign gods into Attica after the Persian War and the mode in which their worship was propagated.
