		Atreus, king of Argos and Mycene, was the son of Pelops, and father of Agamemnon, who was the father of Orestes, who was the father of Tisamenus: Pelops, after whom Peloponnesus was named, was the son of Tantalus, a king of Phrygia; and Tantalus was the son of Jupiter, by the nymph Plota.

		Supposing this to be a promise of distinction as an athlete, he devoted himself to gymnastic exercises, and on one occasion was very near winning the prize for the pentathlum at Olympia.
		This he refused to do on any terms short of receiving the full franchise of their city, whereupon the Spartans at first indignantly broke off the negotiation, but afterwards professed their readiness to yield the point.
		Tisamenus then rising in his demands, stipulated for the same privilege on behalf of his brother Hegias, and this also was granted him.

		The Grecian sacrifice was offered by Tisamenus, the son of Antiochus, who accompanied the army as soothsayer: he was an Elean, and belonged to the Clytiad branch of the Iamidae, but had been admitted among their own citizens by the Lacedaemonians.
		Now his admission among them was on this wise:- Tisamenus had gone to Delphi to consult the god concerning his lack of offspring, when it was declared to him by the Pythoness that he would win five very glorious combats.
		Hereon the Lacedaemonians perceived that the combats of which the oracle spoke were not combats in the games, but battles: they therefore sought to induce Tisamenus to hire out his services to them, in order that they might join him with their Heracleid kings in the conduct of their wars.

		The most illustrious Greek seer in the historical period was an Olympian Iamid called Tisamenus, son of the seer Antiochus, who had gone to Delphi (Olympia’s ‘sister’ shrine) to ask the god about his childlessness.
		Tisamenus thought the oracle about the five contests meant he was destined to win the pentathlon, trained for it and in fact very nearly did win it, but failed at the last hurdle.
		When the X was tilted slightly to become the cross of crucifixion, one of three on Golgotha, Tisamenus’ beloved butterflying Victory was transmogrified into Constantine’s Christian angel, not hovering uncertainly, but sent down from Lord God direct.

		To this Tisamenus, inquiring about his childlessness, there was given an oracle that he should be the winner in five very great [266] contests.

		So Tisamenus offered sacrifice, and the signs were for good luck if the Greeks staid in their place, but for bad if they crossed the Asopus.

		When Cadmus of Tyros (Tyre), sailing northwards from Sidon in Phoenicia, put ashore at Calliste, the island north of Crete later called Thera (Santorini), he left on this island a group of settlers under the leadership of Membliarus, son of Poeciles.
		Calliste came to be called Thera because many generations later Theras, son of Autesion, son of Tisamenus, son of Thersander, son of Polynices, son of Oedipus, son of Laius, son of Labdacus, son of Polydorus, son of Cadmus, came to the island to claim his rights.
		On Theras' arrival to Calliste the descendants of Membliarus gave up the kingship to him of their own accord, for they considered that Theras' family went back to Cadmus himself.

		This is the much-debated decree of Tisamenus, as quoted and contextualised by Andocides, On the Mysteries 81-5.
		Translations such as 'examine' or 'read' are too specific and restricted and often needlessly prejudicial; further discussion of the translation question (which involves the question of function [mentioned in the main text]: (mere) display or genuine information?) in Hed.
		The effect of this controversy on the questions with which the present discussion are concerned is rather double-edged: on the one hand, Sealey's case that the Decree of Tisamenus allowed for more or less substantial 'revision' of Athenian laws is in this respect (but not necessarily in others) weakened (see further n.

		Cadmus was immediately succeeded by his grandson Pentheus, who met a tragic end after falling foul of the young god Dionysus.
