Priene from Carians. Strabo says that Androclus was the leader of the Ionians and the only legitimate son of Codrus. Cyaretus took Myus from the Carians. Damasichthon and Promethus found the descendants of Thersander of Thebes at Colophon and settled alongside them, but later Promethus killed his brother and fled to Naxos. Andraemon conquered Lebedus from the Carians. Damasus and Naoclus settled at Teos, along with Boeotians led by Geres. The city had already been settled by Ionians under Apoecus (whose name literally means "founder") and Minyans who settled under Athamas. Cleopus gathered a group made up of equal portions from all the Ionian cities and settled them at Erythrae, where there were already Cretans, Lycians, Carians and Pamphylians. Pausanias reports that other cities were founded or became Ionian later: Priene was founded by Neileus' son Aegyptus, along with Philotas, as a joint Ionian and Theban settlement. Clazomenae was founded by a group of Ionians, who received Parphorus, a descendant of Codrus from Colophon as their founder. Phocaea was founded by a group of Phocians from near Delphi, led by Philogenes and Damon of Athens and then received Deoetes, Periclus and Abartus, descendants of Codrus, as their kings in order to gain recognition as Ionians. Procles son of Pityreus of Epidaurus, a descendant of Ion, who had been expelled by Argos conquered Samos. Under his son Leogorus, the Ephesians under Androclus conquered the island and the Samians fled to Samothrace and to Anaea, but then reconquered Samos. Chios was settled by Cretans under Oenopion, then by Carians and Abantes from Euboea. Oenopion's grandson Hector drove them out and received a tripod and the right to sacrifice at the Panionion from the Ionians (Pausanias expresses uncertainty about how this made them Ionian). Smyrna had been conquered by the Aeolians, but was later conquered by the Colophonians. Archaic period In the Archaic period, "the Ionian poleis were among the cultural, intellectual, and political leaders of the Greek world." Ionian League The twelve Ionian cities formed a religious and cultural (as opposed to a political or military) confederacy, the Ionian League, of which participation in the Pan-Ionic festival was a distinguishing characteristic. This festival took place on the north slope of Mt. Mycale in a shrine called the Panionium. The foundation took place late in the Archaic period, but the exact date is unclear. This is also when stories of the Ionian migration
