[4] Nothing can be clearer on this point than the following verses of Homer, taken from a hymn to Apollo:— “ Phoebus, where'er thou strayest, far or near,
Delos was still of all thy haunts most dear.
Thither the robed Ionians take their way
With wife and child to keep thy holiday,—
Invoke thy favour on each manly game,
And dance and sing in honor of thy name.
