At Corinth, the Bacchiadae, a house claiming de scent from Hercules, would not marry even with the other less distinguished noble families, and held the power of the state in their hands. One of the daughters of this sept, how ever, having become the wife of a man pertaining to another high-born family, gave birth to Cypselus, who, vexed by his exclusion from offices of state, and procuring a band of parti sans among the people, overthrew the power of his mother's family, and secured for himself the sway over Corinth.
