We said that _Pelops_ came into _Greece_ about the 26th year of _Solomon_:
he [144] came thither in the days of _Acrisius_, and in those of _Endymion_, and of his sons, and took _Ãtolia_ from _Aetolus_. _Endymion_ was the son of _Aëthlius_, the son of _Protogenia_, the sister of _Hellen_, and daughter of _Deucalion_: _Phrixus_ and _Helle_, the children of _Athamus_, the brother of _Sisyphus_ and Son of _Ãolus_, the son of _Hellen_, fled from their stepmother _Ino_, the daughter of _Cadmus_, to _Ãetes_ in _Colchis_, presently after the return of _Sesostris_ into _Egypt_: and _Jason_ the _Argonaut_ was the son of _Ãson_, the son of _Cretheus_, the son of _Ãolus_, the son of _Hellen_: and _Calyce_ was the wife of _Aëthlius_, and mother of _Endymion_, and daughter of _Ãolus_, and sister of _Cretheus_, _Sisyphus_ and _Athamas_: and by these circumstances _Cretheus_, _Sisyphus_ and _Athamas_ flourished in the latter part of the Reign of _Solomon_, and in the Reign of _Rehoboam_: _Aëthlius_, _Ãolus_, _Xuthus_, _Dorus_, _Tantalus_, and _Danae_ were contemporary to _Erechtheus_, _Jasius_ and _Cadmus_; and _Hellen_ was about one, and _Deucalion_ about two Generations older than _Erechtheus_.

Upon the death of _Hellen_, his youngest son _Xuthus_ [147] was expelled _Thessaly_ by his brothers _Ãolus_ and _Dorus_, and fled to _Erechtheus_, and married _Creusa_ the daughter of _Erechtheus_; by whom he had two sons, _Achæus_ and _Ion_, the youngest of which grew up before the death of _Erechtheus_, and commanded the army of the _Athenians_, in the war in which _Erechtheus_ was slain: and therefore _Hellen_ died about one Generation before _Erechtheus_. _Sisyphus_ therefore built _Corinth_ about the latter end of the Reign of |
