I will lift the veil from your remotest ancestry: Chthon (Gaia) teemed of old and bore a son Azeios, who grew to manhood amid the mighty battles of the Titanes.
Now Pelasgos of old went up the fair couch of Deianeira when she was growing to womanhood; he was the dear son of Zeus Eleutherios (God of Freedom); and from her bed he got Lykaon, shepherd of the land of Arkadia.
[5] According to one source, the following relates to the historical account of Aezeius (also called Aegialeus):[6] “The Greeks first settled in Argolis during Ogygian Flood of 1750 BC.
The people who lived upstream of the Cephisus River, which flows from west to east on the north side of Mount Parnassus, and who lost their homes due to floods, set out for new lands.
Aegialeus settled on the northern coast of the peninsula, and Phoroneus further south, on the east side of a small hill (later known as Larisa) at the edge of the plain.
