Note 22 — PRELIMINARY DISCOURSE.
Francis Adams translation
See some ingenious observations on these mythical genealogies in Grote’s History of Greece., vol. i., p. 593. He holds that they are altogether unworthy of credit, or at least that there is no test whereby one can separate the true from the false in them. Clinton, indeed, in his Fasti Hellenici, attaches more importance to them; but apparently Mr. Grote’s judgment on them is perfectly just. See further vol. ii., p. 53, etc.
