We hear nothing of the Hero-worship of these men, but it is natural to suppose it.--Thus in Phigaleia in the market place there was a common grave of the hundred Oresthasians who had died fighting for Phigaleia, ~kai\ hôs _hê/rôsin_ autoi=s enagi/zousin ana\ pa=n e/tos~, Paus. 8, 41, 1.] [84\4: Paus. 1, 32, 4: ~se/bontai de\ hoi Marathô/nioi tou/tous, hoi\ para\ tê\n ma/chên ape/thanon _hê/rôas_ onoma/zontes~. They lay buried on the field of battle, Paus. 1, 29, 4; 32, 3. Every night could be heard the neighing {150} of horses and the sound of battle. Those who attempted to witness the doings of the spirits suffered for it, Paus. l.c. The sight of the spirits made men blind or killed them. This is well known of gods--~chalepoi\ de\ theoi\ phai/nesthai enargô=s~. As to the results of seeing a Hero cf. the story in Hdt. vi, 117.] [85\4: Pi., _I._ iv, 26 ff.; cf. _N._ iv, 46 ff.] [86\4: Hdt. ii, 44, has recourse to the idea that there was a difference between the god Herakles and the Hero Herakles the son of Amphitryon: ~kai\ doke/ousi de/ moi hou=toi ortho/tata Hellê/nôn poie/ein, hoi\ dixa\ Hêra/kleia hidrusa/menoi e/ktêntai kai\ tô=| me\n hôs athana/tô| Olumpi/ô| de\ epônumi/ên thu/ousi, tô=| de\ hete/rô| hôs hê/rôï enagi/zousi~.

He was a god in Epirus for example (called upon as ~A/spetos~, Plu., _Pyr._ 1) in Astypalaia (Cic., _ND._ iii, 45) in Erythrai (third century ins. _SIG._ 600, 50, 75), etc. As Hero he was worshipped in Elis where an empty grave was erected to him ~ek mantei/as~, and where at his annual festival at sunset the women ~ko/ptesthai nomi/zousin~, i.e. lament over him as dead.
