Plutarch, Quaestiones Graecae 48:
„Διὰ τί ἐν Λακεδαίμονι παρὰ τὸ τῶν Λευκιππίδων ἱερὸν ἵδρυται τοῦ Ὀδυσσέως ἡρῷον;“
Why at Sparta is a shrine of Odysseus built near the shrine of the daughters of Leucippus?

Erginus, one of the descendants of Diomedes, was persuaded by Temenus to steal the Palladium (2) from Argos; this he did with the knowledge and help of Leagrus, who was one of Temenus’ friends. But later Leagrus became incensed at Temenus and removed to Sparta, taking the Palladium with him.

The Spartan kings received it eagerly, and gave it a place near the shrine of the daughters of Leucippus, and they sent to Delphi to obtain an oracle concerning its safety and preservation. When the god gave oracle that one of those who had purloined the Palladium should be made its guardian, the Spartans constructed there the shrine of Odysseus, especially since, because of his marriage with Penelope (2), they reckoned that this hero had close relations with their city.

(Moralia 302 C-D)

(1) Statue, die den Schutz einer Stadt garantierte
(2) Tochter des Spartaners Ikarios
