[205] To any one using my _Mythology and Monuments of Ancient Athens_ I must at this point offer my apologies. The rough sketch map of the agora (facing p. 5) was made before Prof. Dörpfeld’s excavations. The _Limnae_ is wrongly marked on the district near the Dipylon. I was at that time convinced only that the _Limnae_ did _not_ lie South of the Acropolis and wrongly identified it with the sanctuary seen by Pausanias on his entrance into the city. The _orchestra_ also on my plan must be moved further to the South-East. The conjectural site of the Odeion seen by Pausanias is shown on Prof. Dörpfeld’s plan (Fig. 46). At this point a curved foundation of Roman masonry has come to light. [206] Plat. _Prot._ 327. [207] Ar. _Ran. Hyp._ ἐδιδάχθη ἐπὶ Καλλίου τοῦ μετὰ Ἀντιγένη διὰ Φιλωνίδου εἰς Λήναια.

The intricacies of this earlier _Bakcheion_ do not concern the present argument. [214] I owe this view to the kindness of Mr Percy Droop of Trinity College. It is taken from a point close to the N.W. end of the _Lesche_ (Fig. 24). [215] _A. Mitt._ V. 116.
