[edit] Minor Concerns over Bacchiadae
According to the Encyclopedia Britannica's 2006 edition:
"General detestation for the Bacchiadae, however, is clear from an oracle preserved by Herodotus that “predicts” that Cypselus will bring dikē, or justice, to Corinth after the rule of the power-monopolizing Bacchiadae. No doubt this oracle was fabricated after the event, but it is interesting as showing that nobody regretted the passing of the Bacchiadae."
Perhaps we should mention the fact that the Oracle was most likely fabricated? Also, the article indicates that 'he fulfilled the prophecy' as if both prophecy and fulfillment were to be taken factually. I have a problem with this.
