| 释义 |
In Greek mythology, Palaechthon or Palaichthon (Ancient Greek: Παλαίχθονος Palaikhthon means "ancient earth") was the son of Gaea (Earth) and the father of Pelasgus, king of Argos, who gave his name to the race of the Pelasgoi (Pelasgians).[1] He may also be a king of Argos when taking into account the sovereignty of his son. MythologyPalaeachthon was only mentioned by Aeschylus in The Suppliants in the following account: For I am Pelasgus, offspring of Palaechthon, whom the earth brought forth, and lord of this land; and after me, their king, is rightly named the race of the Pelasgi, who harvest the land.[2] InterpretationThe earthborn Palaichthon (‘long in the land’, i.e. ‘indigenous inhabitant’), whose name appears in no other source, seems to have been an arbitrarily invented figure.[3][4] Note1. ^Aeschylus, Suppliant Women 340 ff 2. ^Aeschylus, Suppliant Women 250 ff {{PD-notice}} 3. ^Alcman, 57 4. ^{{Cite book|title=The Routledge Handbook of Greek Mythology|last=Hard|first=Robin|publisher=Taylor & Francis Group|year=2004|isbn=0-203-44633-X|location=29 West 35th Street, New York, NY 10001|pages=538}} Reference
