Strabo – “Geography”
“There remain of Europe, first, Macedonia and the parts of Thrace that are contiguous to it and extend as far as Byzantium; secondly, Greece; and thirdly, the islands that are close by. Macedonia, of course, is a part of Greece, yet now, since I am following the nature and shape of the places geographically, I have decided to classify it apart from the rest of Greece and to join it with that part of Thrace which borders on it and extends as far as the mouth of the Euxine and the Propontis.

WHO WERE <strong>THE</strong> MAKERS ? 163<br />
Aegina.<br />
Its ancient name was Oenone*, but when Zeus carried<br />
there Aegina daughter of it<br />
Asopus, was called after that<br />
heroine. Aeacus was her son, and when he grew to man's<br />
estate he prayed for people for his island and Zeus made them<br />
spring from the ground-. Here dwelt the Aeacidae, until<br />
after the Dorian invasion when a bod}^ of Dorians from Epidaurus<br />
on the mainland opposite crossed over and introduced<br />
the Dorian manners and language into the island.<br />
A still earlier conquest than that of the Dorians is shown<br />
<strong>by</strong> the Aeacus legend,<br />
in which the island is renamed. The<br />
hero is<br />
sprung from Zeus instead of Poseidon. Moreover the<br />
introduction of the worship of Zeus into Greece is intimately<br />
bound up with him. According to the story, when all the<br />
land was destroyed with a drought, the oracle at Delphi was<br />
consulted and the priestess bade the people pray to Zeus,<br />
and to prevail on Aeacus to act as their intercessor. All the<br />
communities therefore sent envoys to Aeacus ;<br />
the hero granted<br />
their recjuest and founded the cult of Zeus Pan-Hellenius on<br />
Mount Pan-Hcllenius in Aegina. But there is evidence that<br />
Poseidon had possessed Aegina before<br />
the coming<br />
of Zeus and<br />
Aeacus, and as we have found Poseidon the ancestor of all<br />
the early fixniilies of Peloponnesus and Attica, and we also<br />
saw that no Attic hero ti'aeed his descent from Zeus, it is<br />
reasonable to infer that in the ])arentage of Aeacus and his<br />
ousting of the cult of P
