2 Others

In 1390 BC, Periergus, along with his father, helped the sons of Deucalion to expel the Pelasgians from Thessaly, and was given Dotium. [Diod.5.61.1]

In 1388 BC, due to conflicts with the natives, Periergus returned to Caria with his father and founded Triopium (later Cnidus) in Cherronesus. [Diod.5.61.2, FGrH.4.122, Newton.107, StephByz.T636.1]

In 1370 BC, after the death of Triopas, internal conflicts broke out in Triopium. Periergus moved to Rhodes and occupied Cameirus. [Athen.6.262e]

At that time, Cameirus was inhabited by Cameirus, the son of Cercaphus, who had driven Triopas out of Rhodes. [Diod.5.57.8, Strabo.14.2.8]
