124 The modern Greeks make their cheese for keeping, even now, in wicker baskets, and distinguish it from _χλωρὸς τύρος_, which now means cream cheese, and which they carry to market in woollen bags. There was a special market for it in Athens in Aristophanes’s day, but not in woollen bags; for, as Mr. Pickering (of Shrewsbury School) pointed out to me, the cream cheese of Aristophanes’s day was kept in wicker work. I gladly here acknowledge this correction of the note in my former edition. 125 I should, however, call attention to an exceptional vase in the little Turkish house on the Acropolis, probably of late date, in which a runner is represented with his elbows back and hands closed, and near his sides, in very good form. 126 Pausanias is responsible for the date, which he probably copied from Hippias of Elis. It is noted as a special wonder that the same man should win the sprint and long races at Olympia, which shows that the latter must have been mainly a test of staying power. The Spartan Ladas died at the winning-post, and this endurance was thought rather a wonderful feat, but of course his death may have resulted from bad training, or from heart disease. 127 “Know ye not,” says St. Paul, “that all run, and _one_ receiveth the crown?”—a quite different condition of things from that of the Iliad, where every competitor, like the boys at a private school, comes off with a prize. 128 Possibly this special sort of wrestling has been confused with the _pankration_, from which it can have differed but little, if it indeed subsisted permanently as a distinct form of wrestling. 129 The single competitions in running and wrestling were distinct from those in the pentathlon, and rewarded by separate crowns. 130 This is the moment chosen by Canova in his celebrated representation of these boxers in the Vatican, a fact of which I was ignorant till it was pointed out to me, in correcting an error I had made about them, by Mr. M’D. Campbell, of Glasgow. 131 The first case of cheating was said to have taken place in the 98th Ol. (388 B. C.), when the Thessalian Eupolos was convicted of bribing the three boxers opposed to him, one of whom had won at the previous meeting. Such crimes were commemorated by bronze figures of Zeus (called _Ζᾶνες_ at Elis), which were of the value of the fines inflicted, and had inscriptions warning all athletes of the dangers and the disgrace of cheating. 132 The reader will find some illustrations of it in my _Social Greece_, 6th edition, p. 96. 133 It has been since inserted from my notes in the English translation of Bædeker’s _Greece_. 134 Polybius, iv. 70.
