her had several children, amongst whom was _Chloris_, the mother of
_Periclymenus_ the _Argonaut_. _Pelops_ was the father of _Plisthenes_,
_Atreus_, and _Thyestes_; and _Agamemnon_ and _Menelaus_, the adopted sons
of _Atreus_, warred at _Troy_. _Ægisthus_, the son of _Thyestes_, slew
_Agamemnon_ the year after the taking of _Troy_; and _Atreus_ died just
before _Paris_ stole _Helena_, which, according to [134] _Homer_, was
twenty years before the taking of _Troy_. _Deucalion_ the son of _Minos_,
[135] was an _Argonaut_; and _Talus_ another son of _Minos_, was slain by
the _Argonauts_; and _Idomeneus_ and _Meriones_ the grandsons of _Minos_
were at the _Trojan_ war. All these things confirm the ages of _Cadmus_ and
_Europa_, and their posterity, above assigned, and place the death of
_Epopeus_ or _Epaphus_ King of _Sicyon_, and birth of _Amphion_ and
_Zethus_, upon the tenth year of _Solomon_; and the taking of _Thebes_ by
_Amphion_ and _Zethus_, and the flight of _Laius_ to _Pelops_, upon the
thirtieth year of that King, or thereabout. _Amphion_ might marry the
sister of _Pelops_, the same year, and _Pelops_ come into _Greece_ three or
four years before that flight, or about the 26th year of _Solomon_.

In the days of _Erechtheus_ King of _Athens_, and _Celeus_ King of
_Eleusis_, _Ceres_ came into _Attica_; and educated _Triptolemus_ the son
of _Celeus_, and taught him to sow corn. She [136] lay with _Jasion_, or
_Jasius_, the brother of _Harmonia_ the wife of _Cadmus_; and presently
after her death _Erechtheus_ was slain, in a war between the _Athenians_
and _Eleusinians_; and, for the benefaction of bringing tillage into
_Greece_, the _Eleusinia Sacra_ were instituted to her [137] with
_Egyptian_ ceremonies, by _Celeus_ and _Eumolpus_; and a Sepulchre or
Temple was erected to her in _Eleusine_, and in this Temple the families of
_Celeus_ and _Eumolpus_ became her Priests: and this Temple, and that which
