 The premature death of the child in the Greek form of the legend is probably an allusion to this.In 1956 excavations at Isthmia by the University of Chicago under the direction of Oscar Broneer uncovered the small sanctuary of Palaemon, which eventually had a tiny Roman round temple in the Corinthian order, which appeared on coins of Corinth in the 2nd century CE; it was the successor to two previous more modest architectural phases of the sanctuary.The foundations of the temple were found to lie over the starting-line of a late-5th- or early-4th-century BCE stadium.
