The Ancient Writings Version of Olympia's Death End Quote
Elizabeth Carney going over a bunch of the ancient writers versions of this says quote. They differ about the context of her death, its perpetrators and its method. Pausanias simply says that Cassandra turned Olympia's over to those macadonians who were irritated with her so that she could be stoned to death. Justin claims that Olympia's face death in the manner of brave men in keeping with the glory of her ancient lineage. Connie points out there may have been a reason for this in the same way that Christianity in Europe in the Middle Ages provides a framework giving people an idea of how to act.
