Histories

The Pythia answered that they should bring to their land as founder the first man who offered them hospitality after they left the sacred precinct. But as the Dolonci passed through +Phocis (department), Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, Europe Phocis and Boeotia (department), Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, Europe Boeotia, going along the Sacred Way,[*](“The Sacred Way seems to have led E. by +Daulis [22.75,38.5167] (Perseus) Daulis, Panopeus, and +Chaironeia (inhabited place), Boeotia, Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, Europe Chaeronea, then S.E. by +Koroneia (deserted settlement), Boeotia, Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, Europe Coronea, Haliartus, and Thebes [23.3333,38.325] (Perseus) Thebes, then S. over Cithaeron to +Eleusis [23.5583,38.0417] (Perseus) Eleusis, whence it was continued to Athens [23.7333,37.9667] (Perseus)Athens by the best-known o(do\s i(era/.” (How and Wells.)) no one invited them, so they turned toward Athens [23.7333,37.9667] (Perseus)Athens.

At that time in Athens [23.7333,37.9667] (Perseus)Athens, Pisistratus held all power, but Miltiades son of Cypselus also had great influence. His household was rich enough to maintain a four-horse chariot, and he traced his earliest descent to Aeacus and +Aegina [23.433,37.75] (inhabited place), Aegina, Attica, Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, Europe Aegina, though his later ancestry was Athenian. Philaeus son of Ajax was the first of that house to be an Athenian.
