TIRYNS. 451 
This river was called HALIACMON, from a CHAP. 
VIII. 
person who is mentioned by Plutarch* as of 
Tirynthian race, but bearing, in fact, the same 
name as the father of Uranus, by whom the 
Titan- Celts were conducted into Peloponnesus*. 
His name was ACMON ; but Sanchoniathon, who 
wrote, as it is believed, his history of Phcenice 
before the Trojan war, plainly intimates that 
this prince was styled, in the language of that 
country, ELION (Most high), answering to the 
Greek title -"PFIITOX, altissimus*. In Phrygia 
there was a town called Acmonia*; and one of 
the Cyclops had the name of .icmonides*. Hence 
it should seem evident that the Titan- Celtte 
were of the same race as the Cyclops, who con- 
structed the Tirynthian Citadel ; and, conse- 
quently, that the walls of Tiryns are of Celtic 
original.
