- The securest link is with Lokros, who is Amphiktyon's grandson (by way of Physkos) in Plut. Queaest. graec. 15, and Eust Il. 277.18; the latter has a good chance of going back to Hellanicus, if as I conjecture the otherwise unattested name of Lokros' grandmother, Chthonopatra (wife of Amphiktyon), is a corruption of the similarly unique Xenopatra, daughter of Hellen in Hell. fr. 125 (Amphiktyon thus married his niece).

[edit]- Plutarch and Eustathios go back to the same source, presumably a scholion on Il. 2.527, and behind that perhaps Aristotle's Constitution of the Opountians (frr. 560-4). What has not been noticed is that Eustathios' unique Χθονοπάτρα is surely the same as Hellanikos' Ξενοπάτρα (fr. 125), a similarly unique daughter of Hellen: one has been corrupted into the other in one of these sources (by inversion of 'native' and 'foreign': Χθονοπάτρα is perhaps the original).
