This is the story which the Sybarites tell of Dorieus and his companions, but the Crotoniats say that they were aided by no stranger in their war with +Sybaris [16.4833,39.75] (Perseus) Sybaris with the exception of Callias, an Elean diviner of the Iamid clan. About him there was a story that he had fled to +Croton [17.1333,39.0833] (Perseus) Croton from Telys, the tyrant of +Sybaris [16.4833,39.75] (Perseus) Sybaris, because as he was sacrificing for victory over +Croton [17.1333,39.0833] (Perseus) Croton, he could obtain no favorable omens.
