The book cover image was created by the transcriber and is
placed in the public domain.
Footnotes have been renumbered and moved to the end of the
book.
Blank pages have been skipped.
Obvious printer errors have been silently corrected, after
comparison with a later edition of this work. Greek text has also
been corrected after checking with this later edition and with
Perseus, when the reference was found.
Original spelling, hyphenation and punctuation have been kept,
but variant spellings were made consistent when a predominant usage
was found.
Nevertheless, inconsistent rendition of proper nouns (Acrisios and
Akrisios, Mycênæ and Mykênæ, Athos and Athôs, Dædalus and Dædalos)
have been kept, noting that this edition does not follow completely
the rules for transcription of Greek names announced in the Preface,
[pp. xv-xvi].
In most cross-references, target pages do not correspond with pages
in this edition. Cross-links have been built targeting the tentatively
correct pages.
