[142] This Lykoergos is included in the list of early Arkadian kings given by Pausanias (viii. 4. 10), who further mentions the ‘narrow way’ which was pointed out as the scene of the death of Areïthoos, and was even adorned with his tomb (viii. 11. 4). This is no doubt, however, founded upon the Epic, rather than upon genuine local tradition. The “στεινωπὸς ὁδός” evidently implies a pass so narrow as not to allow the “κορυνήτης” room to swing his club. For the form “Λυκόεργος” see on 6.130.
