[2] They say that the daughter of Teiresias was given to Apollo by the Argives, and at the command of the god crossed with ships to the Kolophonian land in what is now called Ionia. Manto there married Rhakios, a Cretan. The rest of the history of Teiresias is known to all as a tradition: the number of years it is recorded that he lived, how he changed from a woman to a man, and that Homer in the Odyssey represents Teiresias as the only one in Hades endowed with intelligence.
