Note 293 — Chapter IX · THE OLYMPIC FESTIVAL
Reading edition
Carl Robert in Hermes xxxv.; C. Gaspar in Dar.-Sagl. s.v. “Olympia.” It had been my intention to discuss Robert’s theory in the J.H.S., but I find that nearly all my objections to it have been anticipated by Frederic Mie in Philologus, lx. Mie’s own theory has in its turn been superseded by Weniger’s, which alone offers a satisfactory explanation both of Xenophon and of Pausanias.
