KODRUS AXD THE KODRIDS. 25 a confluence of different races. Not only the Cyclades islands in the .vEgean, but the great islands of Samos and Chios, near the Asiatic coast, and ten different cities on the coast of Asia Minor, from Miletus in the south to Phokasa in the north, were founded, and all adopted the Ionic name. Athens was the me- tropolis or mother city of all of them : Androklus and Neileus, the (Ekists of Ephesus and Miletus, and probably other CEkists also, started from the Prytaneium at Athens, 1 with those solem- nities, religious and political, which usually marked the departure of a swarm of Grecian colonists. Other mythical families, besides the heroic lineage of Neleus and Nestor, as represented by the sons of Kodrus, took a lead- ing part in the expedition. Herodotus mentions Lykian chiefs, descendants from Glaukus son of Hippolochus, and Pausanias tells us of Philotas descendant of Peneleos, who went at the head of a body of Thebans : both Glaukus and Peneleos are commemorated in the Iliad. 3 And it is a remarkable fact men- tioned by Pausanias (though we do not know on what authority), that the inhabitants of Phokaea, which was the northernmost city of Ionia on the borders of JEolis, and one of the last found- ed, consisting mostly of Phokian colonists under the conduct of the Athenians Philogenes and Daemon, were not admitted into the Pan-Ionic Amphiktyony until they consented to choose for themselves chiefs of the Kodrid family. 3 Prokles, the chief who conducted the Ionic emigrants from Epidaurus to Samos, was said to be of the lineage of Ion, son of Xuthus. 4 Of the twelve Ionic states constituting the Pan-Ionic Amphik- tyony some of them among the greatest cities in Hellas I shall say no more at present, as I have to treat of them again when I come upon historical ground. 3. DORIC EMIGRATIONS. The JEolic and Ionic emigrations are thus both presented to us as direct consequences of the event called the Return of the 1 Herodot. i. 146; vii. 95; nil 46. Vcliei.
