“Havine now gone through the family of Deu- calion, we have next to speak of that of Inachus. Ocean and Tethys had a son Inachus, after whom a river in Argos is called Inachus.! He and Melia, daughter of Ocean, had sons, Phoroneus and Aegia- leus. Aegialeus having died childless, the whole country was called Aegialia ; and Phoroneus, reigning over the whole land afterwards named Peloponnese, begat Apis and Niobe by a nymph Teledice.”
