3 Others

In 1262 BC, Opus moved from Antheia to the eastern edge of Epicnemidian Locris and founded Opus.

It was where his ancestors Deucalion and Amphictyon had lived in the past.

Opus recruited people from all over the country to build the town. Many people from Argos, Thebes, Pisa, Arcadia, and Thessaly joined and became the inhabitants of Opus.

The inhabitants of Opus were mixed and no longer belonged to a specific tribe, so they came to be called Leleges.
