627 Hence Hercules Manticlus was worshipped at Messana, Pausan. IV. 23.
5. IV. 26. 3.
628 See particularly Thucyd. VI. 5.
629 Strabo ubi sup. The Rhegini considered the Messenians of Naupactus
as kinsmen, Pausan. IV. 26. We may pass over the often corrected
error of Pausanias concerning Anaxilas (last by Jacobs, Amalthea, I.
p. 199. where Bentley is forgotten).
630 Yet it should be observed that Dionysius Perieg. 376. mentions
Amyclæans as colonists in Tarentum, which is probably not a mere
poetical embellishment.
631 Ἀνδανία.—ἐκ ταύτης Ἀριστομένης ἐγένετο, Steph. Byz. The words οὕτω
γὰρ καὶ ἡ Μεσσήνη Ἀνδανία ἐκαλεῖτο, ἥν οἰκίσαι φασί τινας τῶν μετὰ
Κρεσφόντου καὶ οὕτω καλέσαι, &c. contain two errors; comp. Pausan.
IV. 26. 5.
632 The whole of the following passage is evidently taken from Tyrtæus,
VIII. p. 362. τὴν μὲν πρώτην κατακτ. φησὶ Τυρταῖος—γενέσθαι. τὴν δὲ
δευτέραν, καθ᾽ ἥν ἑλόμενοι συμμάχους Ἠλείους καὶ Ἀργείους [καὶ
Ἀρχάδας addendum] καὶ Πισάτας ἀπέστησαν, Ἀρκάδων μὲν Ἀριστοκράτην
τὸν Ὀρχομενοῦ βασιλέα παρεχομένων στρατηγὸν, Πισατῶν δὲ Πανταλέοντα
τὸν Ὀμφαλίωνος. It is stated by Strabo, p. 355 C. that at the ἐσχάτη
κατάλυσις τῶν Μεσσηνίων the Eleans assisted the Spartans. They must
therefore have espoused the cause of the latter out of hatred
towards Pisa. With Strabo agrees the article of Phavorinus in v.
Αὐγείας, p. 134. viz. that “the Lacedæmonians deprived the Pisatans
of this privilege for siding with Messenia, and gave it to the
Eleans, who took their part.” But if Elis was friendly and Pisa
hostile to the Spartans, Pantaleon can hardly have obtained the
agonothesia, when Sparta had overcome all her enemies, and had ended
the war victoriously. Accordingly, the 34th Olympiad, which
Pantaleon celebrated without the Eleans, probably fell in the period
of the second war.
633 According to Pausanias also the _Sicyonians_.
634 Pausan. VI. 22. 2.
635 Plutarch de sera Num. Vind. 2. p. 216. agrees with Pausanias, and
states that the war lasted for more than twenty years.
636 Ap. Polyb. IV. 33. 2. The words of the inscription are as follows:—
πάντως ὁ χρόνος εὖρε δίκνην ἀδίκῳ βασιλῆι,
εὖρε δὲ Μεσσήνη σὺν Διὶ τὸν προδότην
ῥηιδίως. χαλεπὸν δὲ λαθεῖν θεὸν ἄνδρ᾽ ἐπίορκον.
χαῖρε Ζεῦ βασιλεῦ, καὶ σάω Ἀρκαδίαν.
637 See _Æginetica_, p. 65.
638 Which city was still governed by kings in the Peloponnesian war,
Plutarch Parallel. 32. p. 430. In this strange composition,
arbitrary fictions are curiously mixed with learned notices.
639 See the genealogy of the Orchomenian, Epidaurian, and Corinthian
princes below, ch. 8. § 3. note.
