Νηρέα γὰρ γῆμαι Δωρίδα τὴν Ὠκεανοῦ, τούτῳ δὲ μυθεύεσθαι γενέσθαι τὰς πεντήκοντα θυγαπέρας, ὧν εἶναι καὶ τὴν Ἀχιλλέως μητέρα. λέγειν δέ τινας φησὶ Δευκαλίωνος τοῦ Προμηθέως καὶ Πύρρας τῆς Ἐπιμηθέως γενέσθαι Δῶρον, τοῦ δὲ Ἕλληνα, τοῦ δὲ Αἰόλον. ἐν δὲ τοῖς Βαβυλωνίων ἀκούειν ἱεροῖς Ἕλληνα γεγονέναι Διός, τοῦ δὲ Δῶρον καὶ Σοῦθον καὶ Αἰόλον, αἷς ὑφηγήσεσιν ἀκολουθῆσαι καὶ τὸν Ἡσίοδον. ὁποτέρως μὲν οὖν ἔχει, περὶ τῶν ἀρχαίων οὐκ εὐμαρὲς δέχεσθαι τἀκριβὲς τοῖς νεωτέροις ἢ καταμαθεῖν,
