extravagant structures in modern times. The fountains (i. e.

therefore chosen by show of hands and not appointed by lot (note

The festival of the Boir'dromia. was held on the 6th day of Bo'c'dromion
(Sept. ) in honour of Apollo as a martial god, 'A. Boq8pe? awc. Originally it
commemorated the victory of Theseus over the Amazons (Plut. Tim. 27),
or that of Ercchtheus over Euniolpus (Eur. Ian 59, Suidas and Etym.

process of time it appears to have become a joint festival in honour of
Artemis Ii pore'pa, as well as Apollo Bonope? hioe, and to have been trans-
formed into an annual commemoration of the victory of Marathon. It
may even have included a representation of the famous charge (fipe? nos) of
the Athenians at that battle (Mommsen Heortologic 211). Sacrifices were
certainly offered by the Polemarch in honour of Artemis (Aristot. Coast.
Ath. 58 i 1); and, although it has been asserted (by Westerinann and
