Quoted text:

Before 586 BC, wrote Fontenrose[1] (1988: p. 124), “the only Pythian contests were musical. The hymn to Apollo was sung to the accompaniment of the kithara (lyre) played by the singer; and it was said that Hesiod was not allowed to compete because he had not learned to play the kithara.”

Can someone with access to the Fontenrose text verify this quotation and page number?
