Whilst _Bacchus_ made his expedition into _India_, _Theseus_ left _Ariadne_ in the Island _Naxus_ or _Dia_, as above, and succeeded his father _Ægeus_ at _Athens_; and upon the Return of _Bacchus_ from _India_, _Ariadne_ became his mistress, and accompanied him in his triumphs; and this was about ten years after the death of _Solomon_: and from that time reigned eight Kings in _Athens_, viz. _Theseus_, _Menestheus_, _Demophoon_, _Oxyntes_, _Aphidas_, _Thymætes_, _Melanthus_, and _Codrus_; these Kings, at 19 years a-piece one with another, might take up about 152 years, and end about 44 years before the Olympiads: then Reigned twelve Archons for life, which at 14 or 15 years a-piece, the State being unstable, might take up about 174 years, and end _An._ 2, Olymp. 33: then reigned seven decennial Archons, which are usually reckoned at seventy years; but some of them dying in their Regency, they might not take up above forty years, and so end about _An._ 2, Olymp. 43, about which time began the Second _Messenian_ war: these decennial Archons were followed by the annual Archons, amongst whom were the Legislators _Draco_ and _Solon_. Soon after the death of _Codrus_, his second Son _Neleus_, not bearing the Reign of his lame brother _Medon_ at _Athens_, retired into _Asia_, and was followed by his younger brothers _Androcles_ and _Cyaretus_, and many others: these had the name of _Ionians_, from _Ion_ the son of _Xuthus_, who commanded the army of the _Athenians_ at the death of _Erechtheus_, and gave the name of _Ionia_ to the country which they invaded: and about 20 or 25 years after the death of _Codrus_, these new Colonies, being now Lords of _Ionia_, set up over themselves a common Council called _Panionium_, and composed of Counsellors sent from twelve of their cities, _Miletus_, _Myus_, _Priene_, _Ephesus_, _Colophon_, _Lebedus_, _Teos_, _Clazomenæ_, _Phocæa_, _Samos_, _Chios_, and _Erythræa_: and this was the _Ionic_ Migration.
