Note 58 — Chapter XVIII · CLOSING EVENTS OF LEGENDARY GREECE.—PERIOD OF INTERMEDIATE DARKNESS, BEFORE THE DAWN OF HISTORICAL GREECE.

Herodot. iv. 145-149; Valer. Maxim. iv. c. 6; Polyæn. vii. 49, who, however, gives the narrative differently by mentioning “Tyrrhenians from Lemnos aiding Sparta during the Helotic war:” another narrative in his collection (viii. 71), though imperfectly preserved, seems to approach more closely to Herodotus.
