Product Information

Excerpt from Fasti Franklin, Vol. 1: The Civil and Literary Chrology of Greece From the Earliest Accounts to the Lvth Olympiad The times before Pisistratus, forming the first of the three periods into which we have divided Grecian chrology, may themselves be distributed into three portions; the first extending to the Trojan war, the second containing the space from the fall of Troy to the first Olympiad, and the third the interval from the first Olympiad to the fifty-fifth. In treating these we must be guided by the degree of our kwledge. The two first portions, where the sources of information are scanty, are briefly surveyed. In the first, little more is attempted than to ascertain the races of which the early inhabitants were composed, and to trace the families to which the leaders of the Greek nation were ascribed. In the second I have endeavoured to fix the dates of some leading epochs. In these parts of the volume, to bring the subject within a small compass, a short outline of the various positions, and the results at which I have arrived, are stated in the text; while the discussion of particular questions and an exhibition of the testimonies at large are reserved for the tes. In these two divisions of the subject, the times before the Olympiad of Cor bus, some remarkable periods might have been preserved. It might have been remembered and recorded that the war of Troy lasted to the tenth year; that Orestes returned to Argos in the eighth year after the death of Agamemn; that the B otians occupied B otia in the 60th year, and the Dorians Peloponnesus in the 80th year, after the fall of Troy; or that the Ionic migration commenced 60 years after the return of the Heraclid . The duration of some remarkable reigns might also possibly have been transmitted. But it is t likely that the years of any entire series of reigns were accurately preserved. Accordingly, t relying upon the dates which are given by the later chrologers, I have attempted to draw together the scattered relics of the early traditions, and to exhibit the early times as they are related by the ancients themselves, in the form of genealogies. The positions of the chrologers are examined, and compared with those other accounts which the genealogies supply.
