Note 1079 — Chapter VII · Corinth
Reading edition
Cp. e.g. Hdt. V. 92. 10, πολλῶν δ’ ὑπὸ γούνατα λύσει (oracle about Cypselus) and ibid. 92. 16, ἔδει ἐκ τοῦ Ἠετίωνος γόνου Κορίνθῳ κακὰ ἀναβλαστεῖν with Diod. XIX. 2, ἐξέπεσε χρησμὸς ὅτι μεγάλων ἀτυχημάτων ὁ γεννηθεὶς αἴτιος ἔσται Καρχηδονίοις καὶ πάσῃ Σικελίᾳ. In this point the Romulus story is still more remote from the Agathocles than is that of Cyrus.
