Note 1381 — Chapter X · ORPHIC MYSTERIES. (continued 2)

I have elsewhere (Myth. and Mon. Anc. Athens, p. lvii ff.) discussed the relations of Erechtheus and Eumolpos. The view there expressed as to the Eumolpidae and their relation to Thrace and the incoming of Dionysos is confirmed by the more detailed and independent examination of the legend by Dr Toepffer, Attische Genealogie, p. 40.
