Author Description

Excerpt from Fasti Franklin, Vol. 1: The Civil and Literary Chronology of Greece From the Earliest Accounts to the Lvth Olympiad The names preserved by the ancient genealogies may be considered of three kinds; either they were the name of a race or clan converted into the name of an individual, or they were altogether fictitious, or lastly they were real historical persons. An attempt is made in the four genealogical tables inserted below0 to distinguish these three classes of names. Those which appear to be the names of nations converted into the names of persons are there exhibited in capitals; the fictitious names are in italics. Of those who are left in the third class all are not entitled to remain there. But I have only placed in the two first classes those names concerning which there seemed to be little doubt. The rest are left to the judgment of the reader. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
