Demosthenes, Funeral Oration, 30

nan It did not escape the Oineidae that Semele was the daughter of Cadmus, and of her was born one whom it would be sacrilegious to name at this tomb, and by him Oineus was begotten, who was called the founder of their race. Since the danger in question was common to both States, on behalf of both they thought themselves bound to endure any Anguish to the end. The Cecropidae were well aware that their founder was reputed to have been part dragon, part human, for no other reason than this, that in understanding he was like a man, in strength like a dragon. So they assumed that their duty was to perform feats worthy of both.
