ion_ and _Zethus_. 1008. _Sesac_, in the Reign of his father _Ammon_, invades _Afric_ and _Spain_, and sets up pillars in all his conquests, and particularly at the mouth of the _Mediterranean_, and returns home by the coast of _Gaul_ and _Italy_. 1007. _Ceres_ being dead _Eumolpus_ institutes her Mysteries in _Eleusine_. The Mysteries of _Rhea_ are instituted in _Phrygia_, in the city _Cybele_. About this time Temples begin to be built in _Greece_. _Hyagnis_ the _Phrygian_ invents the pipe. After the example of the common-council of the five Lords of the _Philistims_, the _Greeks_ set up the _Amphictyonic_ Council, first at _Thermopylae_, by the influence of _Amphictyon_ the son of _Deucalion_; and a few years after at _Delphi_ by the influence of _Acrisius_. Among the cites, whose deputies met at _Thermopylae_, I do not find _Athens_, and therefore doubt whether _Amphictyon_ was King of that city. If he was the son of _Deucalion_ and brother of _Hellen_, he and _Cranaus_ might Reign together in several parts of _Attica_. But I meet with a later _Amphictyon_ who entertained the great _Bacchus_. This Council worshipped _Ceres_, and therefore was instituted after her death. 1006. _Minos_ prepares a fleet, clears the _Greek_ seas of Pyrates, and sends Colonies to the Islands of the _Greeks_, some of which were not inhabited before. _Cecrops_ II. Reigns in _Attica_. _Caucon_ teaches the Mysteries of _Ceres_ in _Messene_. 1005. _Andromeda_ carried away from _Joppa_ by _Perseus_. _Pandion_ the brother of _Cecrops_ II. Reigns in _Attica_. _Car_, the son of _Phoroneus_, builds a Temple to _Ceres_. 1002. _Sesac_ Reigns in _Egypt_ and adorns _Thebes_, dedicating it to his father _Ammon_ by the name of _No-Ammon_ or _Ammon-No_, that is the people or city of _Ammon_: whence the _Greeks_ called it _Diospolis_, the city of _Jupiter_. _Sesac_ also erected Temples and Oracles to his father in _Thebes_, _Ammonia_, and _Ethiopia_, and thereby caused his father to be worshipped as a God in those countries, and I think also in _Arabia Foelix_: and this was the original of the worship of _Jupiter Ammon_, and the first mention of Oracles that I meet with in Prophane History. War between _Pandion_ and _Labdacus_ the grandson of _Cadmus_. 994. _AEgeus_ Reigns in _Attica_. 993. _Pelops_ the son of _Tantalus_ comes into _Peloponnesus_, marries _Hippodamia_ the granddaughter of _Acrisius_, takes _AEtolia_ from _AEtolus_ the son of
