[18\4: The same is implied by the observation of Aristarchos that Homer knows no ~hiero\s kai\ stephani/tês agô/n~, see _Rh. Mus._ 36, 544 f. (as to the observation there put forward that Homer in fact did not know the word ~ste/phanos~ or its use, cf. further Schol. Pi., _Nem._ intr., pp. 7, 8 ff., Abel; see also Merkel, _Ap. Rh._ proleg., p. cxxvi: ~eüste/phanos~ derived from ~stepha/nê~ not from ~ste/phanos~: Schol. ~Ph~ 511).] [19\4: Many such Agones for Heroes are mentioned, esp. by Pindar.] [20\4: e.g. on the command of the oracle an ~agô\n gumniko\s kai\ hippiko/s~ was founded in honour of the fallen Phocaeans in Agylla, Hdt. i, 167. {141} Agon for Miltiades, Hdt. vi, 38; for Brasidas, Thuc. v, 11; for Leonidas in Sparta, Paus. 3, 14, 1.] [21\4: At the Iolaia in Thebes ~mursi/nês stepha/nois stephanou=ntai hoi nikô=ntes; mursi/nê| de\ stephanou=ntai dia\ to\ ei=nai _tô=n nekrô=n_ ste/phos~, Sch.

Crown made of parsley or pine, both signs of mourning, Paus. 8, 48, 2 (and elsewhere see Meineke, _An. Alex._, 80 ff.). The Pythian games are said to be an ~agô\n epita/phios~ for Python; the Olympian for Oinomaos or Pelops (Phlegon, **_FHG._ iii, 603; cf. P. Knapp, _Corresp. Würt. Gelehr._ 1881, p. 9 ff.). These notices cannot all be learned invention. It is a fact, for instance, that the funeral games of Tlepolemos in Rhodes, known to Pindar, _O._ vii, 77 ff., were later transferred to Helios (cf. Sch. Pi., _O._ vii, 36, 146-7, and Böckh on v, 77).]
