Ael. _V.H._ 9. 5. Footnote 192: Isocrates, _Panegyrikos_. Footnote 193: Helmet of Argives (_Ol. Ins._ 250), spears of Sicyonians, Methonii, Tarentines (_Ins._ 245, 247, 254), of Argives and Athenians for Tanagra (Paus. v. 10, 4). Footnote 194: Paus. v. 24; _Ol. Ins._ 252. Footnote 195: Such must certainly have been the statue of Victory by Calamis set up by the Mantineans. Paus. v. 26, 6. Footnote 196: Paus. v. 26, 1. Footnote 197: Paus. v. 27, 11; 24, 4.

Herodorus of Megara, a famous trumpeter who won ten times at Olympia, was said to be able to blow two trumpets at once with such force that no one could stand in his neighbourhood. Athen. 10, 7, p. 415. Footnote 199: Hence the term “Mercatus Olympiacus,” Vell. Paterc. i. 8; Cicero, _Tuscul._ v. 3; Krause, _Olympia_, p. 190, n. 2. Footnote 200: Lucian, _Herodotus_.

Footnote 205: From Pausanias, v. 4, 8, and 27, 11; vi. 2, 8, we gather that the Eleans, in the course of this war, obtained a decided success in a fight which took place at Olympia, and erected a trophy for the same in the Altis. Was it really this success which prevented the Spartans from depriving them of the presidency of the games, or have we here the Elean version of the war? Footnote 206: Xenophon, _Hell._ iii. 2, 31. Footnote 207: Förster, _Ol. Sieger_. Footnote 208: Xenophon, _Hell._ iv. 5. 1, 2. Footnote 209: Inscriptions found at Olympia illustrate the political relations of this time. In _Ol.
