Hdt. does not believe this story, cp. 4. 173 supra. Four stadii from the city of Kleitor was a temple of the Dioskuri (Pausan. 8. 21, 4), and their figures appear on fifth-century coins {J. H. S. vii. 102, Immerwahr, Kulte u. Mythen Arkad. 229). 19. ’A0t]vI(ov. Megakles himself was the contemporary of Kroisos, c. 125 supra. 21. Hij)pokleides son of Tisandros was probably a Philaid. Cp. next chapter. 128. 3. dv€Trv0€To. If an Epic poem was Hdt.’s main source for the story, probably Kleisthenes was represented as extracting from his visitors the in- formation given just above in the text, c. 127. The subjects in which the suitors were tested {dvdpayadtr], 6pyy, TraLdevais, rpdwos) are characteristic. 7. crwecrxCi]. A curious word, specially used in the sense of ‘ boon- companionship.’ Stein suggests iv ry <TvvLffTiij(7L iTTCLpdro . . . Van Her- werden approves of avveaToi (“R op- time ”) : which Holder also adopts. 8. TrdvTa. St. suggests irdvra re ravra: van H. reads irdvra imarlovs after Madvig. 9. T|pl<rKovTo. Whom they pleased is not stated; it would be pleasant to believe that Agariste herself was consulted! Van Herwerden after Bekker inserts ol. 10. 'iTTiroKXeCSTjs. Hippokleides son of Tisandros is related to the Kypselidae of Corinth. At Athens his father is plainly contemporary with Kypselos father of Miltiades the Philaid, c. 35 supra. The inference is certainly tempting that Tisandros was a Philaid, and that the Philaidae had connexion with the Kypselids. The Kypselids traced themselves back to Kaineus the Lapith, 5. 92 supra. Lysidike the mother of Philaios was counted a descendant of Kaineus. Cp. Petersen, Hist. Gent. Attic, iv. 129. 2. KaTaKXIo-ios. Van Herwerden suggests Kklaios.
