In the Odyssey, they appear among the inhabitants of Crete. Odysseus, affecting to be Cretan himself, instances Pelasgians among the tribes in the ninety cities of Crete, "language mixing with language side by side".Homer. Odyssey, 19.175–19.177 (Robert Fagles's translation). Last on his list, Homer distinguishes them from other ethnicities on the island: "Cretans proper", Achaeans, Cydonians (of the city of Cydonia/modern Chania), Dorians, and "noble Pelasgians".Homer. Odyssey, Book 19 (T.E. Lawrence's translation).
