...Thales to Linus. They say the latter, the son of Eumolpus, was the first to write about the generation of the gods and to discover the sphere, and to say that all things are made from one and are resolved into the same. They say he died at Phalerum, and this epitaph was inscribed on his tomb:
"The Phalerian earth holds Eumolpus's dear son,
Musaeus, his body perished under this tomb."
Moreover, Musaeus's father gave the name Eumolpidae descendants of Eumolpus to the Athenians. They affirm that Linus was born of Mercury and the muse Urania. He wrote of the generation of the world, the courses of the sun and moon, and the generations of animals and fruits. He made this the beginning of his work:
"There was once a time when all things were created together."
Anaxagoras followed this, asserting that all things were created together, and that upon the arrival of mind, they were set in order. Linus is said to have died in Euboea, struck by an arrow from Apollo, and this epitaph is inscribed for him:
"The Theban land received Linus,
Son of the fair-crowned Muse Urania, who died here."
