197 I take this opportunity of renewing the memory of one of these
Doric-Heraclide leaders, who has been so far forgotten, that in the
passage of Pausanias IV. 30. 1. his name has been driven from the
text. It should be thus written from the MSS.: Ὕλλου δὲ καὶ Δωριέων
μάχῃ κρατηθέντων ὑπὸ Ἀχαιῶν, ἐνταῦθα Ἀβίαν Γλήνου τοῦ Ἡρακλέους
τροφὸν ἀποχωρῆσαι λέγουσι, &c. This Glenus occurs as the son of
Deianira in Apollod. II. 7. 8. and Schol. Soph. Trachin. 53.
Diodorus IV. 37. calls him Gleneus. Pherecydes ap. Schol. Pind.
Isth. IV. 104. reckons him among the children of Megara by Hercules.
198 Ap. Longin. 27. Creuzer. Fragment. p. 54. Apollodorus II. 8. 1.
almost makes it appear that the Heraclidæ had been entertained by
Eurystheus; but this does not agree with what precedes. Euripides
Heraclid. 13. 195. represents them as flying first from Argos to
Trachis, and to Achaia in Thessaly, and then to Athens.
199 Thus Pherecydes in Antonin. Liber. 33. Sturz (Fragm. 50. p. 196.)
does not quite understand this passage.
200 At Marathon, according to most authors. Diodorus IV. 57. mentions
Tricorythus; Compare XII. 45.
201 The outline of the narrative is furnished by Pherecydes and Herod.
IX. 27. the details by Euripides in the Heraclidæ, whose account was
influenced by the circumstances of the time (Boeckh. trag. Gr.
princ. p. 190). Whether the Heraclidæ of Pamphilus (Aristoph. Plut.
385. Schol. ad I. p. 112, Hemsterh.) was a _tragedy_ or a _picture_,
was frequently contested by the ancients. The latter appears to be
most probable: see Winckelmann and Meyer Kunstgeschichte, p. 166.
Pamphilus painted the battle of Phlius, one of those which took
place in the 102nd or 103rd Olympiad; and it may be fairly supposed
that he flourished about Olymp. 97, 4, the year in which the second
edition of the Plutus was brought forward, and he might have lived
to be the master of Apelles, who had obtained great celebrity in the
reign of Philip.—Concerning the battle, see Elmsley ad Eur.
Heraclid. 860; concerning the death of Eurystheus, Wesseling. ad
Diod. IV. 57. and Staveren. Misc. Obs. vol. X. p. 383. Pallene is
between Marathon and Athens;—according to Strabo VIII. p. 377. the
tomb was at Gargettus on the western coast; according to Pausanias
I. 40. in Megaris. Concerning Macaria, see Pausan. I. 32. Schol.
Aristoph. Eq. 1148. Zenob II. 61. and other grammarians in v. βάλλ᾽
εἰς Μακαρíαν. A totally different tradition is preserved by Duris
ap. Schol. Plat. p. 134, Ruhnk. In the above quoted passage of
Strabo, τὴν δὲ κεφαλὴν χωρὶσ ἐν ΤΗΙ ΚΟΡΙΝΘΩΙ, ἀποκόπσαντος αὐτὴν
Ἰολάου περὶ τὴν κρὴνην τὴν Μακαρίαν should probably be written ἐν
ΤΡΙΚΟΡΥΘΩΙ; thus in VIII. p. 383. one MS. has Τρικόρινθος. (In this
