as the Dar-da-nelles', was in ancient times called Tro'as. Its
capital was the city of Troy, which stood about three miles from
the shore of the AE-ge'an Sea, at the foot of Mount Ida, near the
junction of two rivers, the Sim'o-is, and the Sca-man'der or
Xan'thus. The people of Troy and Troas were called Trojans. Some of
the first settlers in northwestern Asia Minor, before it was called
Troas, came from Thrace, a country lying to the north of Greece.
The king of these Thra'cian colonists was Teu'cer. During his reign
a prince named Dar'danus arrived in the new settlement. He was a
son of Jupiter, and he came from Sam'o-thrace, one of the many
islands of the AEgean Sea. It is said that he escaped from a great
flood which swept over his native island, and that he was carried
on a raft of wood to the coast of the kingdom of Teucer. Soon
afterwards he married Teucer's daughter. He then built a city for
himself amongst the hills of Mount Ida, and called it Dar-da'ni-a;
and on the death of Teucer he became king of the whole country, to
which he gave the same name, Dardani
