Quoted text:
Renfrew[1] (1988) noted that such games helped bring into being a food market and catalyze the use of money. Victors celebrated by hosting private festivities in the evenings, and for other meals, “There was no shortage of local people anxious to earn a few drachmas by hiring out tents, mules, and donkeys, selling food and drink, and providing entertainment for the crowds when the Games were not in progress.”
