Pausanias Deseripiion of Greece: Vhe district: of
Corinth, which is part ef the district of Argos, has
its name from Corinthus, who to the best of my
belief is seriously called a son of Zeus only by the
local if loud authority of the inhabitants.  Fumeélus
son of Amphilytus of what is known as the house of
the Baechids. the reputed author of the epic poem
(Corinthiaca), declares in the Corimthian fistory, if
indeed his title to this is not lalse. that this country
was first settled by Ephyra daughter ot Oceanus...

1 Processtonat Τὸ Detos

Pausanias Description of Greece [on Messenia]: In the reign
of Phintas sen of Sybotas the Messenians first sent a sacrifice
and a male chorus to Apollo at Delos. Theiv trainer in the
processional sone to the God was Eumélis, and the epic lines
they sang are believed to be the only genuine work of Eumelus
now extant.

The Same fon Ithome]: The Messenians hold a yearly
festival (of Zeus Ithomatas) called the [thomaea. ty ancient
times they had a musical contest too, as is testified, among
other things, by the lines of Eumelus, who wrote in his
Processional to Delos:

For he of Ithome taketh delight in a Muse that
hath a pure lyre and weareth the sandals of freedoin.?

The Same fon the Chest of Cypselusj: The inscriptions
pon the chest may, of course, be the work of some other
Man, but my impressions on the whole point to Eumelus
of Corinth, particularly in view of his Processional ta Delus.?
