(2) Ἡ οὖν Ἑλλὰς ἐν Θετταλία ἦν, ὅτε ποτὲ ἦν, οὐκ ἐν τῇ Ἀττικῇ. Ὁ γοῦν ποιητής φησι· Μυρμιδόνες δὲ καλεῦντο καὶ Ἕλληνες καὶ Ἀχαιοί, Μυρμιδόνας μὲν λέγων εἶναι τοὺς περὶ τὴν Θετταλίας Φθίαν κατοικοῦντας, Ἕλληνας δὲ τοὺς μικρῷ πρότερον ῥηθέντας, Ἀχαιοὺς δὲ τοὺς καὶ νῦν ἔτι κατοικοῦντας Μελίταιάν τε καὶ Λάρισσαν τὴν Κρεμαστὴν καλουμένην καὶ Θήβας τὰς Ἀχαΐδας πρότερον Φυλάκην καλουμένην, ὅθεν ἦν καὶ Πρωτεσίλαος ὁ στρατεύσας εἰς Ἴλιον. Ἔστιν οὖν ἡ Ἑλλὰς ὑφʼ Ἕλληνος οἰκισθεῖσα πόλις τε καὶ χώρα.
