With respect to ancient times, therefore, of which these authors could not obtain much good information, we may suspect that the greater part was tradition, interlarded with fable; although, with respect to what they themselves had access to know, as parties concerned, or from the. relation of contemporary writers, of whom there were some in Greek, they were no doubt highly entitled to credit.
