Note 993 — Chapter VII · Corinth
Reading edition
Thuc. IV. 42. His family lived at Petra, Hdt. V. 92. 7, which has led Knapp, op. cit. pp. 33–34, n. 5, to compare Cypselus with the Paladin Roland who was son of Charlemagne’s sister Bertha and a poor knight named Milo. Roland was born among the rocks and was called Roland because he rolled across the cave in which he was born.
