Hitherto the Lunisolar year had been in use: but this year being of an uncertain length, and so, unfit for Astronomy, in his days and in the days of his sons and grandsons, by observing the Heliacal Risings and Setting of the Stars, they found the length of the Solar year, and made it consist of five days more than the twelve calendar months of the old Lunisolar year. _Creusa_ the daughter of _Erechtheus_ marries _Xuthus_ the son of _Hellen_. _Erechtheus_ having first celebrated the _Panathenæa_ joins horses to a chariot. _Ægina_, the daughter of _Asopus_, and mother of _Æacus_, born. 1030. _Ceres_ a woman of _Sicily_, in seeking her daughter who was stolen, comes into _Attica_, and there teaches the _Greeks_ to sow corn; for which Benefaction she was Deified after death.
