In Athens the Dodekatheon embraced Zeus and Hera, Poseidon and Demeter, Apollo and Artemis, Hephaistos and Athene, Ares and Aphrodite, Hermes and Hestia. At Olympia the list was otherwise composed. Cp. Schomann, Gr. Alt. ii.® 135, who suggests that the number may have been suggested by the number of months in the year. This altar was erected by Peisistratos the younger. Cp. Thuc. 6. 54, 6.

This cannot possibly be the victory recorded in 5. 77 supra, for (1) the circumstances are different, (2) it precedes the annexation of Hysiae, cp. 5. 74 supra.
