it is uncertain at what point among the extant fragments the division between books 1 and 2 fell, but at least some of the aeolid families were covered in the second book. the families of perieres, deion and sisyphus (in that order) were most likely found in the 2nd book because there does not appear to be enough room left in book 1 to accommodate them as a group after the children of neleus and pelias. it was once thought that the ehoie of atalanta opened the book, but recently published evidence casts doubt upon this view (see book 3, below).
