on_: _Phrixus_ and _Helle_, the children of
_Athamus_, the brother of _Sisyphus_ and Son of _AEolus_, the son of
_Hellen_, fled from their stepmother _Ino_, the daughter of _Cadmus_, to
_AEetes_ in _Colchis_, presently after the return of _Sesostris_ into
_Egypt_: and _Jason_ the _Argonaut_ was the son of _AEson_, the son of
_Cretheus_, the son of _AEolus_, the son of _Hellen_: and _Calyce_ was the
wife of _Aethlius_, and mother of _Endymion_, and daughter of _AEolus_, and
sister of _Cretheus_, _Sisyphus_ and _Athamas_: and by these circumstances
_Cretheus_, _Sisyphus_ and _Athamas_ flourished in the latter part of the
Reign of _Solomon_, and in the Reign of _Rehoboam_: _Aethlius_, _AEolus_,
_Xuthus_, _Dorus_, _Tantalus_, and _Danae_ were contemporary to
_Erechtheus_, _Jasius_ and _Cadmus_; and _Hellen_ was about one, and
_Deucalion_ about two Generations older than _Erechtheus_. They could not
be much older, because _Xuthus_ the youngest son of _Hellen_ [145] married
_Creusa_ the daughter of _Erechtheus_; nor could they be much younger,
because _Cephalus_ the son of _Deioneus_, the son of _AEolus_, the eldest
son of _Hellen_, [146] married _Procris_ the daughter of _Erechtheus_; and
_Procris_ fled from her husband to _Minos_. Upon the death of _Hellen_, his
youngest son _Xuthus_ [147] was expelled _Thessaly_ by his brothers _AEolus_
and _Dorus_, and fled to _Erechtheus_, and married _Creusa_ the daughter of
_Erechtheus_; by whom he had two sons, _Achaeus_ and _Ion_, the youngest of
which grew up before the death of _Erechtheus_, and commanded the army of
the _Athenians_, in the war in which _Erechtheus_ was slain: and therefore
_Hellen_ died about one Generation before _Erechtheus_.

_Sisyphus_ therefore built _Corinth_ about the latter end of the Reign of
_Solomon_, or the beginning of the Reign of _Rehoboam_. Upon the flight of
_Phrixus_ and _Helle_, their father _Athamas_, a little King in _Boeotia_,
went distracted and slew his son _Learchus_; and his wife _Ino_ threw her
self into the sea, together with her other son _Melicertus_; and thereupon
_Sisyphus_ instituted the _Isthmia_ at _Corinth_ to his nephew
_Melicertus_. This was presently after _Sesostris_ had left _AEetes_ in
_Colchis_, I think in the fifteenth or sixteenth year of _Rehoboam_: so
that _Athamas_, the son of _AEolus_ and grandson of _Hellen_, and _Ino_ the
daughter of _Cadmus_, flourished 'till about the sixteenth year of
_Rehoboam_. _Sisyphus_ and h
