	The Suppliants by Aeschylus
		Pelasgus interupted to remark that the maidens appeared to be North Africans and to resemble the Amazons rather than the Grecians.

		Pelasgus’ democratic leanings and other clues in the Supplices suggest that over the course of the Danaid trilogy, Aeschylus envisioned a movement from democratic monarchy to despotic tyranny, and back again.
		Danaus serves as a foil to Pelasgus’ example of kingly justness by succeeding him to the throne as a despotic tyrant.
		I follow D. Conacher in understanding Pelasgus’ digression on Argive history at 260-7 to foreshadow the eventual cleansing of the pollution caused by the Aegyptid murders.

	Pelasgians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An early genealogist, Asius, describes Pelasgus as the first man, literally born of the earth to create a race of men.
		Hellanicus repeats this identification a generation later, and identifies this Argive or Arcadian Pelasgus with the Thessalian Pelasgus of Hecataeus.
		Aeschylus regards Pelasgus as earthborn (Supplices I, sqq.), as in Asius, and ruler of a kingdom stretching from Argos to Dodona and the Strymon; but in Prometheus 879, the "Pelasgian" land simply means Argos.

	_Separating the Men from the Beasts:
		It is natural to suppose that others accompanied Pelasgus, and that he was not by himself; for otherwise he would have been a king without any subjects to rule over...Pelasgus on becoming king invented huts that humans should not shiver, or be soaked by rain, or oppressed by heat.
		The Arcadians' report, strictly construed, would have Pelasgus arrive alone in an unhabited land (he is said to be "the first inhabitant", genoito en te ge protos); but the fact that he is called "king" seems to Pausanias' logical mind to entail the existence of subjects.
		As the story proceeds, the subjects seem to be supplied not as accompanying Pelasgus into the new terrain but as existing prior to his arrival - and in a wretched state.

		Over the years it became commonly said that royal houses were all sired by Zeus, but in truth none of them really were, that was just a fiction concocted by those having troubles in their lands to appease their populaces.
		Pelasgus had no immortal heritage that I ever could find, he was simply a normal boy with moderate magical gifts who worked his way up a chain of command earning respect from those around him until he was deemed worthy to be their leader.

		Sandberg uses a style similar to that of Archie in some of the other stories to give it an additional punch; what's nice is that he understands when to do that and when to stick with a more realistic style.
		On the plus side, "Pelasgus" is a pretty good story, and it's enough to make me want to see more.
