find _Athens_, and therefore doubt whether _Amphictyon_ was King of that
city. If he was the son of _Deucalion_ and brother of _Hellen_, he and _Cranaus_ might Reign together in several parts of _Attica_. But I meet with a later _Amphictyon_ who entertained the great _Bacchus_. This Council worshipped _Ceres_, and therefore was instituted after her death. 1006. _Minos_ prepares a fleet, clears the _Greek_ seas of Pyrates, and sends Colonies to the Islands of the _Greeks_, some of which were not inhabited before. _Cecrops_ II. Reigns in _Attica_. _Caucon_ teaches the Mysteries of _Ceres_ in _Messene_. 1005. _Andromeda_ carried away from _Joppa_ by _Perseus_. _Pandion_ the brother of _Cecrops_ II. Reigns in _Attica_. _Car_, the son of _Phoroneus_, builds a Temple to _Ceres_. 1002. _Sesac_ Reigns in _Egypt_ and adorns _Thebes_, dedicating it to his father _Ammon_ by the name of _No-Ammon_ or _Ammon-No_, that is the people or city of _Ammon_: whence the _Greeks_ called it _Diospolis_, the city of _Jupiter_. _Sesac_ also erected Temples and Oracles to his father in _Thebes_, _Ammonia_, and _Ethiopia_, and thereby caused his father to be worshipped as a God in those countries, and I think also in _Arabia FÅlix_: and this was the original of the worship of _Jupiter Ammon_, and the first mention of Oracles that I meet with in Prophane History. War between _Pandion_ and _Labdacus_ the grandson of _Cadmus_. 994. _Ãgeus_ Reigns in _Attica_. 993. _Pelops_ the son of _Tantalus_ comes into _Peloponnesus_, marries _Hippodamia_ the granddaughter of _Acrisius_, takes _Ãtolia_ from _Ãtolus_ the son of _Endymion_, and by his riches grows potent. |
