457 For what Plutarch. Amator. and Diodor. Exc. II. 228. p. 548. Wess. relate of the expulsion of Archias, is stated by the Scholiast to Apollonius IV. 1211, of the family of the Bacchiadæ. The former affirm the accidental murder of the son of Melissus to have been the cause of the founding of Syracuse, the latter of that of Corcyra. Yet this is contradicted by the Parian Marble, I. 47. Archias δέκατος ἀπὸ Τημένου, since the Bacchiadæ derived themselves from Aletes, not Temenus. In either case Archias is an Heraclide. See Boeckh. Explic. ad Pind. Olymp. 6. p. 153. Compare Göller de situ Syracusarum, p. 5. sq. 458 Strab. VII. p. 380 D. 459 Strab. VI. p. 269. Compare Scymnus Chius, v. 274. 460 See Boeckh’s Introduction to the sixth Olympiad. 461 Book II. ch. 9. § 4. ch. 10. § 1. 462 Athen. IV. p. 167. from Demetrius Scepsius. Archilochus made mention of this Æthiops (Siebel. Fragm. p. 233). 463 Clem. Alex. Strom. I. p. 298. His προσόδιον was composed before the Messenian wars, about the same time. 464 Adoniaz. 53. compare Thucyd. VI. 77. ὅτι οὐκ Ἴωνες τάδε εἰσὶν,—ἀλλὰ Δωριεῖς, ἐλεύθεροι ἀπ᾽ αὐτονόμου τῆς Πελοποννήσου τὴν Σικελίαν οἰκοῦντες. 465 Dio Chrys. Or. XXXVIII. 4. 466 According to Thucyd. VI. 5. Raoul-Rochette, III. p. 319. supports the contrary opinion. 467 Thucyd. I. 108. where this Chalcis is evidently intended. 468 Raoul-Rochette, ib. p. 290. The coins of Alyzia do not necessarily prove it to be of Corinthian origin, since barbarous towns frequently adopted the devices of the neighbouring Greek cities. Herodotus IX. 28. does not afford any reason for supposing that Pale was a Corinthian colony; yet both here and in Thucyd. I. 27. it appears as closely united with Corinth. 469 This I believe, because it was founded by Heraclidæ, _i.e._ by Bacchiadæ, according to Anton. Lib. 4; hence also the worship of Hercules existed there. Compare also concerning the Doric migration to Ambracia, the Epigram of Damagetus in the Palat. Anthol. VII. 231. 470 Γόργος is probably the most correct form of those in Plut. Conv. VII. Sap. 17. p. 42. Strab. X. p. 452, 7. p. 325. Scymn. Ch. 427. Antonin. Lib. I. 4. p. 23. Teuchn., who alone considers him as the brother of Cypselus. See book III. ch. 9. § 6. note. The form ΓΟΡΓΟΣ is also confirmed by a coin of Ambracia. See Raoul-Rochette, Annali dell’ Instituto di corrisp. archeol. 1829, p. 316. 471 Thucyd. II. 68. 472 See Boeckh. Corp. Inscript. No. 43. 473 Plutarch. Themist. 24.; but the whole history is inaccurately related. 474 Thus Schol. Apollon. IV. 1212., and from Timæus at V. 1216.
