When Cecrops died, Cranaus came to the throne 1 ; he was a son of the soil, and it was in his time that the flood in the age of Deucalion is said to have taken place. 2 He married a Lacedaemonian wife, Pedias, daughter of Mynes, and begat Cranae, Menaechme, and Atthis; and when Atthis died a maid, Cranaus called the country Atthis. 3
