Galaxy/The codex of Miletus

Son of Apollo by Aria daughter of Cleochus, beloved of Minos' sons; when Sarpedon won his favour he fled Minos' war, landed in Caria, and founded the city Miletus after himself.1

I

After Europa's sons grew up in Crete they quarrelled over Miletus, son of Apollo by Aria daughter of Cleochus; as the boy was more friendly to Sarpedon, Minos went to war and had the better of it, and the others fled.2

II

Miletus landed in Caria and there founded a city which he called Miletus after himself — the Ionian citadel on the Maeander's mouth that later Argonaut Erginus would leave for Jason's voyage.3
