' Porphyr. et Eustath. ad, Iliad, xiv. 296. ' ^^gS' xii. p. 941. PINDAR— HERODOTUS 299 a dormant belief among the people in the historico-literal sense and the truth of the myths. From its first dawn of consciousness a Greek's intellect was fed upon myths, and his thoughts ran in the type of the myth. To subject this labyrinth of myths to examination, and so to reject some and retain others, would have been a task as troublesome as it was impossible for the generality. It was a matter of such g...eneral acceptation in the time of Socrates, that the gods had begotten sons in physical intercourse with mortal women, that, on his trial, he rested his defence against his accuser Meletus upon it.^ And the Greeks were still prepared in some cases to believe that such filiations were always taking place. The hero Astrabacus passed as the father of the Lacedaemonian king Demaratus in the time of the Persian war,* as Plato did with his admirers for a real son of Apollo; and the story ran that Aristo, his mother Perictione's husband, had been warned in a dream not to approach her until she had brought forth the son she had conceived of that god.^ It was exactly the same in Sparta.
