See a learned and judicious discourse on the Olympic games, which Mr.West has prefixed to his translation of Pindar.] [Footnote 18: Claudian (in iv.Cons.Hon.

480) alludes to the fact without naming the river; perhaps the Alpheus, (i.Cons.Stil.l.

i.
185.) -- -Et Alpheus Geticis angustus acervis Tardior ad Siculos etiamnum pergit amores.
Yet I should prefer the Peneus, a shallow stream in a wide and deep bed, which runs through Elis, and falls into the sea below Cyllene.

It had been joined with the Alpheus to cleanse the Augean stable.
