Furthermore, in my opinion the ceremonial chant[*](The o)lolugh/ (says Dr. Macan) was proper to the worship of Athena; a cry of triumph or exultation, perhaps of Eastern origin and connected with the Semitic Hallelu (which survives in Hallelu-jah).) first originated in Libya [17,25] (nation), AfricaLibya: for the women of that country chant very tunefully. And it is from the Libyans that the Greeks have learned to drive four-horse chariots.
