Note:
At the biennial Isthmian Games, held near Corinth; see
iota 638, and generally OCD(4) s.v. The crowns awarded there were of dry celery during the classical period but of pine earlier (and again later). There is a lavish and learned discussion of this in book 5 of the
Table-talk (
Quaestiones conviviales) of
Plutarch: 675D-77B.
