All the heads of the Dorian race from Egypt. [Greek: Phainoiato an eontes
hoi ton Dorieon hegemones Aiguptioi ithagenees.] Herodotus. l. 6. c. 53.

The Lacedaemonians esteemed themselves of the same family as the Caphtorim
of Palestine: hence they surmised, that they were related to the Jews, 1
Maccabees, c. 12. v. 20, 21. Josephus: A. J. l. 12. c. 4. p. 606. Perseus
was supposed to have been a foreigner. [Greek: Hos de ho Perseon logos
legetai, autos ho Perseus eon Assurios egeneto Hellen.] Herodotus. l. 6. c.
54.

It is said of Cadmus, that he came originally from Egypt, in company with
Phoenix. [Greek: Kadmos kai Phoinix apo Thebon ton Aiguption.] Euseb.
Chron. p. 15.

Eusebius in another place mentions the arrival of Cadmus with a company of
Saitae. They founded Athens, the principal city of Greece: also Thebes in
Boeotia. They were of Egypt; but he says, that they came last from Sidon.
It is in a passage, where he speaks of a former race in Attica before those
of Egypt called Saitae: [Greek: Plen ton metoikesanton husteron ekei Saiton,
kai katoikesanton ten tes Hellados metropolin Athenas, kai tas Thebas.
Sidonion gar houtoi apoikoi ek Kadmou tou Agenoros.] Chron. p. 14. The
antient Athenians worshipped Isis: and were in their looks, and in their
manners particularly like the Egyptians. [Greek: Kai tais ideais, kai tois
ethesin homoiotatous einai tois Aiguptiois.] The whole of their polity was
plainly borrowed from that country. Diod. Sic. l. 1: p. 24, 25, 26.

It is said by Sanchoniathon, that Cronus, in his travels over the earth in
company with his daughter Athena, came to Attica; which he bestowed upon
her. Euseb. P. E. lib. 1. c. 10. p. 38.

This is not unlike the account given by the Scholiast upon Lycophron
concerning Cecrops: from whence the legend may receive some light. [Greek:
Elthon ar' (ho Kekrops) apo Saeos poleos Aiguptou tas Athenas sunoikise.
Sais de kat' Aiguptious he Athena legetai, hos phesin Charax.] Lycoph. v.
111. Schol.

Hence it is, that almost the whole of the mythology of Greece is borrowed
from Egypt. [Greek: Katholou de, phesi, tous Hellenas exidiasesthai tous
epiphanestatous Aiguption Heroas te, kai Theous.] Diodorus. l. 1. p. 20.
All their rites and ceremonies were from the same quarter.

[Greek: Panegurias de ara, kai pompas, kai prosagogas protoi anthropon
