the son of Elector, the son of Anaxagoras, the son of Megapenthes, the son of Praetus the brother of Acrisius.  Now from these Generations it may be gathered that Perseus, Perieres and Anaxagoras were of about the same age with Minos, Pelops, AEgeus and Sesac; and that Acrisius, Praetus, Eurydice, and Amyclas, being two little Generations older, were of about the same age with King David and Erechtheus; and that the Temple of Juno Argiva was built about the same time with the Temple of Solomon; the same being built by Eurydice to her daughter Danae, as above; or as some say, by Pirasus or Piranthus, the son or successor of Argus, and great grandson of Phoroneus:  for the first Priestess of that Goddess was Callithea the daughter of Piranthus; Callithea was succeeded by Alcinoe, about three Generations before the taking of Troy, that is about the middle of Solomon’s Reign:  in her Priesthood the Siculi passed out of Italy into Sicily:  afterwards Hypermnestra the daughter of Danaus became Priestess of this Goddess, and she flourished in the times next before the Argonautic expedition:  and Admeta, the daughter of Eurystheus, was Priestess of this Juno about the times of the Trojan war. Andromeda the wife of Perseus, was the daughter of Cepheus an Egyptian, the son of Belus, according to [140] Herodotus; and the Egyptian Belus was Ammon:  Perseus took her from Joppa, where Cepheus, I think a kinsman of Solomon’s Queen, resided in the days of Solomon. Acrisius and Praetus were the sons of Abas:  but this Abas was not the same man with Abas the grandson of Danaus, but a much older Prince, who built Abaea in Phocis, and might be the Prince from whom the island Euboea [141] was anciently called Abantis, and the people thereof Abantes:  for Apollonius Rhodius [142] tells us, that the Argonaut Canthus was the son of Canethus, and that Canethus was of the posterity of Abas; and the Commentator upon Apollonius tells us further, that from this Abas the inhabitants of Euboea were anciently called Abantes.  This Abas therefore flourished three or four Generations before the Argonautic expedition, and so might be the father of Acrisius:  the ancestors of Acrisius were accounted Egyptians by the Greeks, and they might come from Egypt under Abas into Euboea, and from thence into Peloponnesus.  I do not reckon Phorbas and his son Triopas among the Kings of Argos, because they fled from that Kingdom to the Island Rhodes; nor do I reckon Crotopus among them, because because he went from Argos, and built a new city for himself in Megaris, as [143] Conon relates.
