Example 1:
Athenaeus[1] (XII.3–41) reported that “To such a point had they carried their luxurious refinement that they had even trained their horses to dance at their feasts to the accompaniment of pipes. Now the people of Croton knew this when they made war on the Sybarites, as Aristotle records in his account of their Constitution.”
Example 2:
Croton went to war with Sybaris. On this topic, Athenaeus[2] (XII.3–41) repeated an anecdote that shows the power of music, so much praised by the Pythagoreans.A question for someone with access to a version of Athenaeus’s The Deipnosophists that has line numbers denoted: Should this be lines 3–41, or is it line 341? The version we have doesn’t seem to be broken down by line (at this link: Book XII, Chapter 1).
