Sentences with XOANON (5)
Here was the precinct containing two temples of Dionysus, in the older of which was the xoanon[132] brought from Eleutherae by Pegasus.
Pausanias tells us[151] that the xoanon brought from Eleutherae was in one of the two temples in the theatre-precinct, while the other contained the chryselephantine statue of Alcamenes.
Pausanias' use of the plural in τεταγμέναις ημέραις is excellent authority that the temple of the xoanon was opened at least on more than one day of every year.
Mention should also be made of the Argive ceremony, at which the _xoanon_ (ancient wooden statue) of Athena was washed in the river Inachus, a symbol of her purification after the Gigantomachia.
