Travellers to the Panhellenic Sanctuaries at Delphi and Olympia
|
When someone was afraid of the journey to Olympia, he said, "Why do you fear the distance? When you are at home, don't you spend most of the day in walking about? On your way there you will take a walk before lunch, and another before dinner, and then take a rest. Don't you know that if you put together the walks you take in five or six days, you can easily cover the distance from Athens to Olympia? Xenophon, Memorabilia, 3.13.5 |
