Adler number: pi,668
Translated headword: Maidens, Virgins
Vetting Status: high
Translation: This is what they used to call the daughters of Erechtheus[1] and they honoured them;[2] [they were] six in number. The eldest [was] Protogenia, the second Pandora, the third Prokris, the fourth Creusa, the fifth Orithyia, the sixth Chthonia. Of these Protogenia and Pandora are said to have given themselves to be slaughtered on behalf of their country when an army came from Boeotia. They were slaughtered on the hill called Hyacinthus on behalf of the Sphendonians. Hence they are also called the Hyacinthid Maidens, as
Phanodemus attests in his fifth
Atthis, when recalling the honour shown them, and
Phrynichus in
Recluse.[3]

Notes:
Same entry in
Photius (pi408 Theodoridis; cf. n. 2 below); see also
Hesychius p925 and the paroemiographer
Apostolius (14.7).
[1] See already under
pi 666.
[2] Adopting the reading of
Photius,
e)ti/mwn h)=san, rather than
e)timw/rhsan, which would mean "they took vengeance upon".
