Title: The Presence of a Tyrant at Pan-Hellenic Sites: the
Dedications of Cypselus and the Cypselids at Delphi and
Olympia
Introduction
Cypselus's dedications show the power and wealth which were typical
of a tyrant; they were described by Herodotus and Pausanias, and they
also show the importance of Delphi and Olympia as sites generally in
this period and how they were influential in the social and political
life of the time. (This is a
rough idea of what will be discussed in the
introduction.)
