The\r\nexodus took place in the time of Inachus, before the wandering of\r\nSothis,<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_1039\" id=\"FNanchor_1039\">[1039]</a> Moses having gone forth from<span class=\"pagenum\" id=\"Page_440\">[440]</span> Egypt three hundred and\r\nforty-five years before. From the rule of Moses, and from Inachus\r\nto the flood of Deucalion, I mean the second inundation, and to the\r\nconflagration of Phaethon, which events happened in the time of\r\nCrotopus, forty generations are enumerated (three generations being\r\nreckoned for a century). From the flood to the conflagration of Ida,\r\nand the discovery of iron, and the Idæan Dactyls, are seventy-three\r\nyears, according to Thrasyllus; and from the conflagration of Ida to\r\nthe rape of Ganymede, sixty-five years. From this to the expedition\r\nof Perseus, when Glaucus established the Isthmian games in honour\r\nof Melicerta, fifteen years; and from the expedition of Perseus to\r\nthe building of Troy, thirty-four years. From this to the voyage of\r\nthe Argo, sixty-four years. From this to Theseus and the Minotaur,\r\nthirty-two years; then to the seven at Thebes, ten years. And to the\r\nOlympic contest, which Hercules instituted in honour of Pelops, three\r\nyears; and to the expedition of the Amazons against Athens, and the\r\nrape of Helen by Theseus, nine years. From this to the deification\r\nof Hercules, eleven years; then to the rape of Helen by Alexander,\r\nfour years. From the taking of Troy to the descent of Æneas and the\r\nfounding of Lavinium, ten years; and to the government of Ascanius,\r\neight years; and to the descent of the Heraclidæ, sixty-one years; and\r\nto the Olympiad of Iphitus, three hundred and thirty-eight years.\r\nEratosthenes thus sets down the dates: “From the capture of Troy to\r\nthe descent of the Heraclidæ, eighty years. From this to the founding\r\nof Ionia, sixty years; and the period following to the protectorate\r\nof Lycurgus, a hundred and fifty-nine years; and to the first year of\r\nthe first Olympiad, a hundred and eight years. From which Olympiad to\r\nthe invasion of Xerxes, two hundred and ninety-seven years; from which\r\nto the beginning of the Peloponnesian war, forty-eight years; and to\r\nits close, and the defeat of the Athenians, twenty-seven years; and to\r\nthe battle at Leuctra, thirty-four years; after which to the death of\r\nPhilip, thirty-five years. And after this to the decease of Alexander,\r\ntwelve years.”</p>","headings":["THE WRITINGS OF CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA.","THE MISCELLANIES.","BOOK I.","CHAPTER XXI.
