Commentary

Boundary stone of a sanctuary of Zeus Polieus found in the area of the Kynosarges (left bank of the Ilissos), Diamantopoulou Hodos 10, in a cemetery to which it originally did not relate. Eliopoulos (2012-2013) rejects the hypothesis of a pierre errante from the Acropolis - where stood the (main) sanctuary of the god, and investigates the possibility of a nearby origin of the stone. Among other points, Eliopoulos aduces the festival of the Diomeia, which took place at the Kynosarges - Diomos being one of the names appearing in the etiologic narratives of the Bouphonia/Dipolia.
Borne d'un sanctuaire de Zeus Polieus trouvée dans le secteur du Cynosarges (rive gauche de l'Ilissos), Diamantopoulou Hodos 10, dans un cimetière auquel elle n'était originellement pas associée. Eliopoulos (2012-2013) rejette l'hypothèse d'une pierre errante provenant de l'Acropole - où se trouvait le (principal) sanctuaire du dieu -, et explore celle d'une provenance proche de la pierre. Parmi les arguments avancés, figure celui de la tenue de la fête des Diomeia au Cynosarges - Diomos étant un des noms qui apparaissent dans les récits étiologiques des Bouphonies/Dipolies.
