APPENDIX C

THE ORIGINAL PLACE OF THE LENAEA


The question where the Lenaean contests took place before the building
of the great theatre of Dionysus has been unfortunately complicated with
other problems, of which no final solution can be given. For it has been
customary to assume that the Lenaeum was identical with the temple of
Dionysus ἐν Λίμναις, or at least that the latter was included in the
Lenaeum; and thus all the disputes respecting the site of the temple ἐν
Λίμναις have been regarded as applying also to the site of the Lenaeum.
Hence the discussion of the evidence for the site of the Lenaeum is more
difficult than it need be.
