148 Strabo VIII. p. 383. Conon. 27. Scymnus. To this also refers the
statement in Apollodorus I. 7, 3. that Dorus the son of Hellen τὴν
πέραν χώραν Πελοποννήσου ἔλαβεν. Vitruvius IV. 1, however, gives a
different account, _Achaia Peloponnesoque tota Dorus Hellenis et
Orseidis nymphæ_ (a mountain nymph) _filius regnavit_.
149 Hecatæus ap. Stephan.
150 In the scholia to Pindar, Pyth. I. 121, in which, however, there is
some transposition and confusion. There is nowhere else any mention
of a city in Perrhæbia named Pindus. In Pindar Πινδόθεν is used
generally for the earlier settlements; for Hestiæotis and Doris both
touch on the chain of Pindus. See Boeckh. Explic. p. 235. These
scholia are probably followed by the scholiast on Aristoph. Plut.
385, and by Tzetzes ad Lycophr. v. 980. comp. v. 741; but without
separating the erroneous parts.
151 Tarphe was near the Doric Tetrapolis between Œta and Parnassus. It
is mentioned in Iliad II. 533, as a Locrian town; according to
Strabo IX. p. 426, it was afterwards called Pharygæ, which Plutarch,
Phocion 33, includes in Phocis, and names near it a hill called
Acrurion. Tarphe and Carphæa may be considered as different forms of
the same name, _t_ and _k_ being often interchanged. Thus the
mythological hero Talaus is sometimes Calaus. (Schol. Soph. Œd. Col.
1320.)
152 Herod. VIII. 31, comp. Plutarch. Themistocl. 9.
153 P. 24. Διμοδωριεῖς.
154 Herod. VIII. 31 and 43. ἐόντες οὗτοι Δωρικὸν καὶ Μακεδνὸν ἔθνος ἐξ
Ἐρινεοῦ τε καὶ Πίνδου καὶ τῆς Δρυοπίδος ὕστατα ὁρμηθέντες. According
to this passage, therefore, Cytinium and Boeum may both have been
inhabited by the Dryopians.
155 According to Strabo IX. p. 434, there was a Dryopian Tetrapolis as
well as a Dorian.
156 Ap. Strab. p. 373. The scholia to Apollon. Rhod. I. 1283, furnish a
genealogy, viz. Lycaon, Dia, Dryops. Followed by Tzetzes ad Lyc.
480, and Etymol. Mag. p. 288, 32. Pherecydes, however, quoted in the
scholia to Apollonius, gives a different account.
157 See book II. ch. 11, § 3.
158 In the neighbourhood of the Malians and Myrmidonian Achæans,
Pherecydes ap. Schol. Apoll. Rh. I. 1823, pp. 93, 107, ed. Sturz.
Aristotle ubi sup. At the foot of Mount Parnassus, Aristotle and
Pausan. IV. 34, 6. Λυκωρείταις ὅμοροι. The μετοίκησις from the
Spercheus to Trachis is merely a confusion of the scholiast to
Apollonius. Callimachus had only mentioned the migration to
Peloponnesus, Schol. Paris. Clavier’s remarks (ad Apollod. p. 323)
are very inaccurate. Dryops, the son of Spercheus, dwelt at the foot
of mount Œta, according to Antoninus Liberalis, 32.
