1. Since there subsisted so great an affinity among the Leleges and Cilicians with the Trojans, the reason is asked, why these people are not included in Homer’s Catalogue. Perhaps it is that, on account of the loss of their leaders and the devastation of the cities, the few Cilicians that were left placed themselves under the command of Hector. For Eetion and his sons are said to have been killed before the Catalogue is mentioned; “The hero Achilles,” says Andromache, “killed my father, and destroyed Thebe, with its lofty gates, the city of the Cilicians.”-- “I had seven brothers in the palace; all of them went in one day to Hades, for they were all slain by the swift-footed divine Achilles.”[1512] Those also under the command of Mynes had lost their leaders, and their city; “He slew Mynes, and Epistrophus, And destroyed the city of the divine Mynes.”[1513] He describes the Leleges as present at the battles; “on the sea-coast are Carians, and Pæonians with curved bows, Leleges, and Caucones.”[1514] And in another place, “he killed Satnius with a spear--the son of Enops, whom a beautiful nymph Neis bore to Enops, when he was tending herds near the banks of Satnioeis,”[1515] for they had not been so completely annihilated as to prevent their forming a body of people of themselves, since their king still survived, “Altes, king of the war-loving Leleges,”[1516] nor was the city entirely razed, for he adds, “who commanded the lofty city Pedasus.”[1517] He has passed them over in the Catalogue, not considering the body of people large enough to have a place in it; or he comprised them among the people under the command of Hector, as being allied to one another. For Lycaon, the brother of Hector, says, “my mother Laothoë, daughter of the old Altes, brought me into the world to live but a short time; of Altes, king of the war-loving Leleges.”[1518] Such is the reasoning, from probability, which this subject admits. 2. We reason from probability when we endeavour to determine by the words of the poet the exact bounds of the territory of the Cilicians, Pelasgi, and of the people situated between them, namely, the Ceteii, who were under the command of Eurypylus. We have said of the Cilicians and of the people under the command of Eurypylus what can be said about them, and that they are bounded by the country near the Caïcus. It is agreeable to probability to place the Pelasgi next to these people, according to the words of Homer and other histories. Homer says, “Hippothous led the tribes of the Pelasgi, who throw the spear, who inhabited the fertile Larisa; their leaders were Hippothous and Pylæus, a son of Mars, both sons of Lethus the Pelasgian, son of Teutamis.”[1519]
