Argus and Ismene, daughter of Asopus, had a son Iasus, who is said to have been the father of Io. He also avenged the murder of Apis by putting the guilty to death. It is said, too, that Echidna, 7 daughter of Tartarus and Earth, who used to carry off passers-by, was caught asleep and slain by Argus. He had eyes in the whole of his body, 5 and being exceedingly strong he killed the bull that ravaged Arcadia and clad himself in its hide 6 and when a satyr wronged the Arcadians and robbed them of their cattle, Argus withstood and killed him. 3 But Argus received the kingdom and called the Peloponnese after himself Argos and having married Evadne, daughter of Strymon and Neaera, he begat Ecbasus, Piras, Epidaurus, and Criasus, 4 who also succeeded to the kingdom.Įcbasus had a son Agenor, and Agenor had a son Argus, the one who is called the All-seeing. However, Hesiod says that Pelasgus was a son of the soil. 2 But Niobe had by Zeus (and she was the first mortal woman with whom Zeus cohabited) a son Argus, and also, so says Acusilaus, a son Pelasgus, after whom the inhabitants of the Peloponnese were called Pelasgians. He left no child, and being deemed a god was called Sarapis. Apis converted his power into a tyranny and named the Peloponnese after himself Apia but being a stern tyrant he was conspired against and slain by Thelxion and Telchis. 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. He and Melia, daughter of Ocean, had sons, Phoroneus, and Aegialeus. 1 Ocean and Tethys had a son Inachus, after whom a river in Argos is called Inachus. Having now gone through the family of Deucalion, we have next to speak of that of Inachus. Odyssey & Telegonia THE LIBRARY BOOK 2, TRANSLATED BY J. Cecrops, Adonis, Tereus & Procne, Erichthoniusġ5.
