_ 327 Orchomenos_, p. 140. According to Conon ubi sup. Aletes found
Sisyphidæ and Ionians mixed with them.
_ 328 Orchomenos_, p. 257.
329 II. 4. 3.
330 Pindar. Olymp. XIII. 11. Compare Boeckh’s Commentary, p. 213.
Callimachus ap. Plutarch. Symp. Qu. V. 3. p. 213. Ἀλητιάδαι παρ᾽
Αἰγαιῶνι θεῷ Θήσουσιν νίκης σύμβολον Ἰσθμιάδος Ζήλῳ τῶν Νεμέηθε.
331 Herodot. V. 92. 2. This perhaps may afford some explanation of the
ancient affinity between the Cypselidæ and Philaidae (see Herodot.
VI. 128.), by a comparison of the table, _Orchomenos_, p. 465.
332 II. 4. 4. compare V. 18. 2.
333 See Blanchard Recherches sur la ville de Mégare, Mém. de l’Acad. des
Inscr. tom. XVI. p. 121.
334 Herodot. V. 76. Lycurg. in Leocrat. p. 196. Strabo IX. p. 293. XIV.
p. 653. Conon 26. Scymnus Chius, 503.
335 See Raoul-Rochette III p. 56. who has omitted the remarkable passage
of Pausan. VII. 25. according to which the Lacedæmonians had partly
taken Athens. There was at Athens a Delphian _gens_ named
Cleomantidæ, whose ancestor was said to have communicated to the
Athenians the prophecy concerning the king’s death, Lycurgus in
Leocrat. p. 196.
336 Lycophr. 1388. and Tzetzes’ note.
337 See particularly Schol. Pind. Nem. VII. 155. Schol. Aristoph. Ran.
440. Pausan. I. 39. 4.
338 Schol. Pind. et Aristoph. ubi sup. According to Zenobius V. 8. the
Megarians mourned for a daughter of their own king Clytius, and of
Bacchius the Corinthian.
339 This event is always narrated in explanation of the proverb; see
Schol. Pind. ubi sup. Schol. Plat. Euthydem. pag. 97. edit. Ruhnken.
and Schol. Aristoph. Ran. 440 (from Demon). Compare Aristoph.
Eccles. 828. Zenob. III. 21. Vatic. Prov. III. 13. Apostolius VII.
17. XIV. 97. Suidas, Hesychius, Dissen ad Pind. ubi sup. It is
probably of this victory of the Megarians that Pausanias (VI. 19.
9.) had read in some document that it took place before the
commencement of the Olympiads, when Phorbas was archon for life at
Athens; but in my opinion he is incorrect in referring it to a
treasury of Dontas the Lacedæmonian (Olymp. 60.), the inscription of
which spoke indefinitely of a victory of the Megarians over the
Corinthians, in which the Argives were supposed to have had a share.
Phorbas was archon from the 173rd to the 148th year before the first
Olympiad, according to Eusebius.
340 Thucyd. I. 103. Diod. XI. 79. Plutarch Cimon. 17. It was probably in
some war of this kind that Orsippus of Megara enlarged the territory
of his native city, according to Etymol. M. p. 242; he was conqueror
in the 15th Olympiad, see book IV. ch. 2. note. Pausan. I. 44. 1.
and the epigram in Anthol. Pal. II. App. 272. See Siebelis ad
Pausan. ubi sup.
341 See the account in Plutarch. Qu. Gr. 17. p. 387.
342 Above, ch. 3. § 11.
