the Son of Agenor King of Ploenicia, who first married Harpalyce, the Sister of Calais and Zethes the Children of Boreas; but he was divorced from her and took to Wife Idea the Daughter of Dardanus King of Scythia, who falsly accused Phineus his Children by the first Venter for attempting to ravish her. Phinens
believed her, and put his Sons Eyes out, but the Gods revenged the Crime upon the Father himself, whom they also struck blind, and tor¦mented him cruelly with Hunger, for as of∣ten as he went to eat, the Harpies took away part of his Victuals, and defiled the rest. O∣thers say, that Phineus having lost his Sight, and his Sons being dead, the Harpies his Daughters wasted his Estate, till Zethes and Calais his Cousins, the Sons of Boreas drove those Women out of the City, and reinvested him in the Pos∣session of his Estate, which occasioned the Fable.
