On the same authority, if indeed the chapter be not an interpolation (vi. 122; see Larcher, ad loc.), we learn, that he spent much money in keeping horses, was a conqueror at the Olympic and Pythian games, at the former in B. C. 564 (Schol. ad Aristoph. Av. 283), and gave large dowries to his daughters, allowing them -a good and wise departure from the usual practice- to marry any of the Athenians they pleased. http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?doc=Per...  Modern Olympic Games      ATHENS (Town) GREECE Athens 2004 Olympics http://www.athens2004.com Official WebSite More about Olympic Games at Ancient Olympia You are able to search for more information in greater and/or surrounding areas by choosing one of the titles below and clicking on "more".
