< Chalcinus, descendant of Cephalus >

1 Origin

In 1050 BC, Chalcinus was born in Cephallenia.

Chalcinus was the 10th generation descendant of Cephalus, who gave the name to Cephallenia.

2 Others

Chalcinus returned from Cephallenia to their ancestral homeland Athens with Daetus.

Cephalus was the son of Pandion, the 8th king of Athenians, and the king of Thoricus in Attica.

Cephalus was pursued by Aegeus and moved to Cephallenia via Thebes.

In other words, the Athenians accepted Chalcinus and Daetus as citizens because they were descendants of the king of Athens.

They gained Athenian citizenship at the end of the 11th century BC, which is thought to be one of the last records before Greece entered the Dark Ages.

The 5th century BC historian Hellanicus reports that Andocides, son of Leogoras, one of the ten greatest orators of Attica, was a descendant of Odysseus.

Odysseus was the great-grandson of Cephalus, and Andocides was probably a descendant of Chalcinus or Daetus.
