Ἀρχάνδρου. Pausanias (ii. 6) makes him son (not grandson) of Achaeus (cf. vii. 94, where Danaus and Xuthus, father of Achaeus, are synchronized); hence some have proposed to translate τοῦ Φθίου ‘the Phthiotian’; but the order of the words makes this impossible. It is idle to force consistency on independent legends.
