ΕΛΙΚΩΝ (Βουνό) ΒΟΙΩΤΙΑ
On Helicon tripods have been dedicated, of which the oldest is the one which it is said Hesiod received for winning the prize for song at Chalcis on the Euripus. Men too live round about the grove, and here the Thespians celebrate a festival, and also games called the Museia. They celebrate other games in honor of Love, offering prizes not only for music but also for athletic events.
ΚΟΡΩΝΕΙΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΒΟΙΩΤΙΑ
Pamboeotia (pamboiotia), a festive panegyris of all the Boeotians, which the grammarians
compare with the Panathenaea of the Atticans, and the Panionia of the Ionians.
The principal object of the meeting was the common worship of Athena Itonia, who
had a temple in the neighbourhood of Coronea, near which the panegyris was held
(Strabo, ix. p. 411; Pans. ix. 34, § 1). From Polybius (iv. 3, ix. 34) it appears
that during this national festival no war was allowed to be carried on, and that
in case of a war a truce was always concluded. This panegyris is also mentioned
by Plutarch (Amat. Narrat. p. 774 f.). It is a disputed point whether the Pamboeotia
had anything to do with the political constitution of Boeotia, and with the relation
of its several towns to Thebes. The question is discussed in Sainte-Croix, Des
Gouvernements federat. p. 211, &c.; Raoul-Rochette, Sur la Forme et l'Administr,
de l??tat federatif des Beotiens, in the Mem. de l'Acad. des Inscript. vol. viii.
(1827), p. 214. It seems probable that its object was religious, not political,
though, as at other panegyreis, there were no doubt political harangues [PANEGYRIS].
The state and constitution of Boeotia is discussed under BOEOTARCHES
(See also Gilbert, Staatsalterthumer, ii. 53.)
