MINYI, The.
"The race [among the Greeks] which … first issues forth with
a history of its own from the dark background of the Pelasgian
people is that of the Minyi. The cycle of their heroes
includes Iason and Euneus, his son, who trades with Phœnicians
and with Greeks. … The myths of the Argo were developed in
the greatest completeness on the Pagasæan gulf, in the seats
of the Minyi; and they are the first with whom a perceptible
movement of the Pelasgean tribes beyond the sea—in other
words, a Greek history in Europe—begins. The Minyi spread
both by land and sea. They migrated southwards into the
fertile fields of Bœotia, and settled on the southern side of
the Copæic valley by the sea. … After leaving the low
southern coast they founded a new city at the western
extremity of the Bœotian valley. There a long mountain ridge
juts out from the direction of Parnassus, and round its
farthest projection flows in a semicircle the Cephissus. At
the lower edge of the height lies the village of Skripu.
Ascending from its huts, one passes over primitive lines of
wall to the peak of the mountain, only approachable by a rocky
staircase of a hundred steps, and forming the summit of a
castle. This is the second city of the Minyi in Bœotia, called
Orchomenus: like the first, the most ancient walled royal seat
which can be proved to have existed in Hellas, occupying a
proud and commanding position over the valley by the sea. Only
a little above the dirty huts of clay rises out of the depths
of the soil the mighty block of marble, more than twenty feet
high, which covered the entrance of a round building. The
ancients called it the treasury of Minyas, in the vaults of
which the ancient kings were believed to have hoarded the
superfluity of their treasures of gold and silver, and in
these remains endeavoured to recall to themselves the glory of
Orchomenus sung by Homer."

1787 under which it was settled, having adopted its free State

The Moabite Stone.
As related in the Bible (Genesis xix. 37), Moab was the son of
Lot's eldest daughter and the ancient people called Moabites
were descended from him. They occupied at an early time the
rich tableland or highlands on the east side of the Dead Sea;
but the Amorites drove them out of the richer northern part of
this territory into its southern half, where they occupied a
very narrow domain, but one easily defended. This occurred
shortly before the coming of the Israelites into Canaan.
Between the Moabites and the Israelites, after the settlement
of the latter, there was frequent war, but sometimes relations
both peaceful and friendly. David finally subjugated their
nation, in a war of peculiar atrocity. After the division of
the kingdoms, Moab was subject to Israel, but revolted on the
death of Ahab and was nearly destroyed in the horrible war
which followed. The Biblical account of this war is given in 2
Kings III. It is strangely supplemented and filled out by a
Moabite record—the famous Moabite Stone—found and deciphered
within quite recent times, under the following circumstance.
Dr. Klein, a German missionary, travelling in 1869 in what was
formerly the "Land of Moab," discovered a stone of black
basalt bearing a long inscription in Phœnician characters. He
copied a small part of it and made his discovery known. The
Prussian government opened negotiations for the purchase of
the stone, and M. Clermont-Ganneau, of the French consulate at
Jerusalem, made efforts likewise to secure it for his own
country. Meantime, very fortunately, the latter sent men to
take impressions—squeezes, as they are called—of the
inscription, which was imperfectly done. But these imperfect
squeezes proved invaluable; for the Arabs, finding the stone
to be a covetable thing, and fearing that it was to be taken
from them, crumbled it into fragments with the aid of fire and
water. Most of the pieces were subsequently recovered, and
were put together by the help of M. Clermont-Ganneau's
squeezes, so that an important part of the inscription was
deciphered in the end. It was found to be a record by Mesha,
king of Moab, of the war with Israel referred to above.
