Notes on the current edition

Panegyricus

1. There is no evidence to bear out a literal interpretaion of this statement, but the tradition is probably right which regarded the Areopagus in Athens as the first court set up in Greece for the trial of cases of homicide. It was believed that this court was first convened to ty the case of Orestes, an alien. See Aesch. Eum. 684 ; Dem. 23.65 ff.
2. So Isoc. 12.202 . Pliny Nat. Hist. 7.194 , catalogues many Athenian discoveries in art. Cf. Milton, Par. Reg. iv. 240: “ Athens the eye of Greece , mother of arts and eloquence.”
