Open translation for this passage
εἰσὶ δʼ οἳ καὶ αὐτῷ θυγατέρας ἐννέα Πιέρῳ γενέσθαι λέγουσι καὶ τὰ ὀνόματα ἅπερ ταῖς θεαῖς τεθῆναι καὶ ταύταις, καὶ ὅσοι Μουσῶν παῖδες ἐκλήθησαν ὑπὸ Ἑλλήνων, θυγαριτριδοῦς εἶναι σφᾶς Πιέρου·
The syntax is a chain of reported assertions with coordinated infinitives; the last phrase is textually difficult, especially θυγαριτριδοῦς, so its analysis is tentative.

Μίμνερμος δέ, ἐλεγεῖα ἐς τὴν μάχην ποιήσας τὴν Σμυρναίων πρὸς Γύγην τε καὶ Λυδούς, φησὶν ἐν τῷ προοιμίῳ θυγατέρας Οὐρανοῦ τὰς ἀρχαιοτέρας Μούσας, τούτων δὲ ἄλλας νεωτέρας εἶναι Διὸς παῖδας.
The reported speech after φησίν is syntactically compressed and somewhat irregular: θυγατέρας Οὐρανοῦ τὰς ἀρχαιοτέρας Μούσας is treated as appositional/predicative accusative material, and τούτων δὲ ἄλλας νεωτέρας εἶναι Διὸς παῖδας forms the infinitival complement.
