Author Description

Excerpt from History of Greece, Vol. 2: Section I He had no need, with his own inuence united to that of Mega kles. Of this clumsy stratagem. The gates stood open to him; but to return with more solemnity he put himself under the protection of the goddess. Instead of having her statue carried, as was usual, he showed her living image; and there was so little attempt at con cealment in the whole matter that he married the pretended god dess to one of his sons shortly after the conclusion of the ceremony.
