[5] Opposite them are other statues [ andriantes], dedicated by the Argives who participated with the Thebans led by Epameinondas to found Messene. The statues are images [ eikones] of heroes [ hērōes]: Danaos, the most powerful king of Argos, and Hypermnestra, who alone of her sisters kept her hands undefiled. By her side is Lynkeus also, and the whole lineage of them going back to Hēraklēs, and further back still, to Perseus.
