Note 40 — Chapter III · THE RISE OF THE ATHLETIC FESTIVAL
Reading edition
Unless we accept Mr. Myers’ translation of Pindar, Ol. i. 94, “And from afar off he beholdeth the glory of the Olympian games in the courses called of Pelops.” Most modern editors translate κλέος τηλόθεν δέδορκε, “his glory shineth from afar,” which, in view of the words which follow, ἐν δρόμοις Πέλοπος, seems decidedly preferable to making Pelops the subject.
