[180] “παρθένιος λέγεται ὁ ἐξ ἔτι παρθένου νομιζομένης γεννώμενος, σκότιος δὲ” (v. 6.24) “ὁ κατὰ λαθραίαν μῖξιν καὶ οὐκ ἀπὸ νομίμου μίξεως”, Cf. An.the story of the colonization of Tarentum by “παρθένιοι” from Sparta. This is another genealogical fiction, like the preceding, to combine a descent from a god with the legendary family eponymos Echekles (189). χορῶι καλ́η go together, like “ἄρηϊ φίλος”, etc., to form a single epithet.
