of van m Bceotta, /^ j » • • «. t? j ^ Cadmus s commg mto Europe ; and amongft the Boeotians, always accounted the dulled peo- ple of Greece. For ibon after the arrival of Cadmus, the Gods acquired (i)new births in Boeotia, Minerva at the river Triton, Mercury on mount Cerycius, Hercules and Bacchus at Thebes. Then too, for I think it can be tra- ced no higher, began a new, and prepofterous, genealogy of the Great Gods^ many of whom, as Vulcan, Mars, Mercury, Apollo, Minerva and Diana, are faid... to be be- gotten by Jupiter, tho* they were only his contempora- ries, I may {s^y his guardians ; and all appear to be older than himielf. Then followed a long train of other Gods and Heroes, together with a mixture of monilers, and ideal beings, that could have no foundation in hiftory; but whofe genealogies we £nd faithfully recorded in the Theogony of the Boeotian bard. After all this, it is not difHcult to underftand, how (2) Boeotia came to abound with Oracles, more than any other country of Greece.
