_Sthenelus_, _Mestor_ and _Electryo_ were brothers of _Gorgophone_, and sons of _Perseus_ and _Andromeda_: and the _Argonaut_ _Æsculapius_ was the grandson of _Leucippus_ and _Phlegia_, and _Leucippus_ was the son of _Perieres_, the grandson of _Amyclas_ the brother of _Eurydice_, and _Amyclas_ and _Eurydice_ were the children of _Lacedæmon_ and _Sparta_: and _Capaneus_, one of the seven Captains against _Thebes_, was the husband of _Euadne_ the daughter of _Iphis_, the son of _Elector_, the son of _Anaxagoras_, the son of _Megapenthes_, the son of _Prætus_ the brother of _Acrisius_. Now from these Generations it may be gathered that _Perseus_, _Perieres_ and _Anaxagoras_ were of about the same age with _Minos_, _Pelops_, _Ægeus_ and _Sesac_; and that _Acrisius_, _Prætus_, _Eurydice_, and _Amyclas_, being two little Generations older, were of about the same age with King _David_ and _Erechtheus_; and that the Temple of _Juno Argiva_ was built about the same time with the Temple of _Solomon_; the same being built by _Eurydice_ to her daughter _Danae_, as above; or as some say, by _Pirasus_ or _Piranthus_, the son or successor of _Argus_, and great grandson of _Phoroneus_: for the first Priestess of that Goddess was _Callithea_ the daughter of _Piranthus_; _Callithea_ was succeeded by _Alcinoe_, about three Generations before the taking of _Troy_, that is about the middle of _Solomon_'s Reign: in her Priesthood the _Siculi_ passed out of _Italy_ into _Sicily_: afterwards _Hypermnestra_ the daughter of _Danaus_ became Priestess of this Goddess, and she flourished in the times next before the _Argonautic_ expedition: and _Admeta_, the daughter of _Eurystheus_, was Priestess of this _Juno_ about the times of the _Trojan_ war. _Andromeda_ the wife of _Perseus_, was the daughter of _Cepheus_ an _Egyptian_, the son of _Belus_, according to [140] _Herodotus_; and the _Egyptian_ _Belus_ was _Ammon_: _Perseus_ took her from _Joppa_, where _Cepheus_, I think a kinsman of _Solomon_'s Queen, resided in the days of _Solomon_. _Acrisius_ and _Prætus_ were the sons of _Abas_: but this _Abas_ was not the same man with _Abas_ the grandson of _Danaus_, but a much older Prince, who built _Abæa_ in _Phocis_, and might be the Prince from whom the island _Eubœa_ [141] was anciently called _Abantis_, and the people thereof _Abantes_: for _Apollonius Rhodius_ [142] tells us, that the _Argonaut_ _Canthus_ was the son of _Canethus_, and that _Canethus_ was of the posterity of _Abas_; and the Commentator upon _Apollonius_ tells us further, that from this _Abas_ the inhabitants of _Eubœa_ were anciently called _Abantes_. This _Abas_ therefore flourished three or four Generations before the _Argonautic_ expedition, and so might be the father of _Acrisius_: the ancestors of _Acrisius_ were accounted _Egyptians_ by the _Greeks_, and they might come from _Egypt_ under _Abas_ into _Eubœa_, and from thence into _Peloponnesus_.
