Notes on the current edition

Panegyricus

1. The tradition is probably correct that Athens was the first city to set her own house in order and so extended her influence over Greece . The creation of a civilized state out of scattered villages is attributed to King Theseus. See Isoc. 10.35 ; Isoc. 12.128 ff. . In Isoc. 12.151-4 , Isocrates maintains that certain features of the Spartan constitution were borrowed from Athens .
