Acusilâus of Argos lived probably in the sixth century B.C.
He wrote a prose work on the origins of Gods and men, called Genealogies.
1. (Chaos was the first principle, and after it the pair, Erebus the male and Night the female; from their union sprang Nether, Eros and Mêtis; and the other gods are derived from these).
2. (Plato, Symposium 178B: Acusilaus agrees with Hesiod that Chaos came first, and after Chaos Earth and Eros).
3. (Eros the son of Night and Aether).
4. (Koios: among names of male and female Titans).
5. (Iris is the messenger of all the gods. The Harpies guard the apples of the Hesperides).
6. (Cerberus is the son of Echidnê and Typho; also other monsters, including the eagle that eats the liver of Prometheus).
7. (Typho attacked the kingdom of Zeus).
