c. Τυνδαρίδαις τε φιλοξείνοις ἀδεῖν: οἱ Διόσκουροι κατὰ ἐντολὴν Ἡρακλέος διατεθειμένοι τὸν Ὀλυμπιακὸν ἀγῶνα ὡς ἐνομοθέτησεν Ἡρακλῆς· τούτοις γὰρ εἰς θεοὺς ἀναχωρῶν Ἡρακλῆς τὴν τῶν Ὀλυμπιακῶν ἀγώνων φροντίδα καὶ ἐπιμέλειαν ἐνεχείρισεν· οὗτοι ἀφ᾿ ἑαυτῶν ἐπενόησαν πανήγυριν θεοξένια παρὰ τὸ δοκεῖν τότε ξενίζειν τοὺς θεούς. θύοντος οὖν τοῦ Θήρωνος εἰς θεοξένια, ἐν τοσούτῳ ἠγγέλθη αὐτῷ καὶ ἑτέρων αὐτοῦ ἵππων νίκη, καὶ εἰς τοῦτο γράφει ὁ ποιητής.
