Note 2518 — THE HOMERIC HYMNS
Hugh G. (Hugh Gerard) Evelyn-White translation
(return) [ O. Muller thinks the ‘hides’ were a stalactite formation in the ‘Cave of Nestor’ near Messenian Pylos,—though the cave of Hermes is near the Alpheus (l. 139). Others suggest that actual skins were shown as relics before some cave near Triphylian Pylos.]
