The GENEALOGY.
Phut was the first most celebrated navigator of antiquity, built a fleet of ships, began to carry colonies into the countries on the Mediterranean sea. Strabo in IX. tells us the history of him from Ephorus, a very ancient historian. He says Phut or Apollo travell’d the earth, and came to the rude inhabitants of Parnassus. His business was to bring men to civility and manners, to use corn for their food.
Pindar writes of him,
——He travell’d o’er earth and sea, setting watch-towers on hill-tops, among the nations, consecrating temples, and building groves.
