[5] The Lacedaemonians were happy to receive the Minyae1 on the terms which their guests desired; the chief cause of their consenting was that the Tyndaridae2 had been in the ship's company of the Argo; so they received the Minyae and gave them land and distributed them among their own tribes. The Minyae immediately married, and gave in marriage to others the women they had brought from Lemnos.

1 As descendants of the Argonauts, who were Minyae of Thessaly, living near the Pagasaean gulf.

2 Castor and Polydeuces.
